I don't imagine there are many parents around these days who haven't thought long and hard about how important computers might be in their children's futures.
Computers are everywhere.
They are used in just about all professions, indeed, probably in excess of fifty per cent of all jobs require some computer skills and, more to the point, for many of these jobs being able to type would be a distinct advantage. Architects use computers, so do astronomers, engineers, librarians, reporters, teachers, and the list just goes on and on. So if you are one of those parents who have considered that your son or daughter might benefit by a good knowledge of the keyboard then Mavis Beacon is here to offer you a hand. Grandpa A very young Mavis with her dog, Dizzy, meets you in the first screen and invites you to visit Grandma and Grandpa and play in their house and garden. As the lesson proceeds the letters to be typed roll across the bottom of the screen, and Mavis calls them out just for good measure.
