You know, it's funny someone brought this up. Some of my friends and others were in a group talking about education and what we may have done right and wrong in the past.
I graduated from high school in 1967, before computers, cellphones, and other things that are now part of the daily drudge. I did OK in school, taking all the hard courses and such, so that my last year was kindof an easy ride. I had a teacher tell me to take typing in the summer between the junior and senior year, that I would need it someday. Summer school??
Turns out it was one of the most useful things I ever learned, although I didn't think so at the time. I went on to college and made my way through life's ordeals. Then came computers, and my job at the time meant I had to use one. Still didn't have one at home, only a typewriter that was out of date already.
So here I was, pretty much average at most of the work I was doing, but way ahead of my peers because I could type better than "hunt and peck". Fast forward to today--even the simplest task requires basic typing skills. This is not bragging on my part, I could never do 30-40 words a minute, but I can do OK without errors most of the time, and it's really nice being able to sit here like I'm doing right now, with my laptop (in my lap), watching TV without having to look at the keyboard.
That month during the summer that year was one of the most important and useful things I ever did in the long run.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
