I am not a typing teacher. I am not a writer. I am a one-handed touch typist. That skill has made my job as an electronics instructor easier. Typing is a task when using the hunt and peck method.
Touch typing makes it easy and even fun.
The recent increase in the number of computers in the workplace makes typing a skill that many people need. A few lines of code changes the key locations. The keyboard that is used today by most two-handed typists is the result of an early attempt to slow down typist so that early typewriters would not jam. The letters that are most common were made hard to reach on purpose. Dvorak thought that to be ridiculous.
