> Are universities also failing their students by not offering/requiring a touch-typing class?

Universities make assumptions based on the larger student body as to what requirements are needed for admission. Generally, we assume students can read and write and have general computer literacy, but actually the last assumption is starting to fray a bit; more and more, students are coming into school without basic computer desktop literacy. This hasn't been a problem for decades, as students tended just to pick up skills like touch typing. But today, some students are hard pressed to to save a file to the desktop.

I could see universities might actually have to start adding computer literacy as an entrance requirement, the same way we require basic reading and writing and English speaking, so we don't have to teach those things.
