Touch typist or hunt and peck?
Haven’t times changed?
The Australian school year is just getting underway after several weeks of summer holidays. Everywhere you look there are signs and advertisements for ‘Back to School Sales’.
I remember years ago when the ‘Back to School Sales’ would be all about getting a good price on crayons, coloured pencils, school bags, lunch boxes and the occasional great deal on Bata Scouts.
I was flicking through today’s paper and looking at the back to school deals on offer. While some shops still offer discounted prices on school stationery, I spotted a number of back to school deals on laptop computers and the like.
I guess that computers are becoming more and more a necessity for students but we certainly won’t be shelling out for a $1500 laptop for Emily or James anytime soon.
Our poor kids will have to continue battling on with our old 900 Celeron desktop. It’s several years old but it still seems to do the job …. most of the time.
