My father made me learn touch typing when I was a teenager. One of the best things he ever did for me.

(As a bonus, he had me learn it on his old Olympic typewriter--"old" as in older than I was at the time--whose keys were so stiff it seemed like it took about ten pounds of pressure to type one letter. When I finally got a computer, typing on its keyboard was like being able to run without ankle weights for the first time.)
