Hi,

Yes, it is. If you are exposed to using computers most often, typing a necessary skill to have.

Hi Tyler,

Just about everything we do today is computer-based. Typing is an essential, 21st century skill for students and adults. The benefits are many.

- Increased job prospects
- Saves you time to do other things you love
- Being a better typer helps you communicate more effectively
- Be more efficient in your work

An investment in Typesy is an investment in yourself!
