I didn't teach my older zoomer kid to type. He learned on his own out of the necessity of chatting with friends in online games, played on his computer. He uses the first two fingers of both hands, and he's faster than me, who learned in school and has been a touch-typist for 40 years.

I think we're moving away from keyboard and mouse, anyway. It will be AR headsets with voice, eye tracking, and hand gestures for most use, and keyboards will be used only when direct input is needed.

Looking at the keyboard and rapid poking works fine for chatting, but it does kinda suck for writing or editing anything complex. Honestly, this is how most millennials are - fast 2-finger typists who developed their skill with ICQ or MSN messenger or whatever. Really sucks when you try to show them VIM.
