I got an electric typewriter for Christmas my junior year of HS. That was 1988. I still have it. Haven't used it in years.
My last year of college, 1993, my Mom was in graduate school. That's when we got a word processor. First, one that was like a larger electric typewriter but had a little screen you could see 5 or 6 lines on at once. You could save your work on 3.5 inch floppies.
That one was returned and we got a different one. This one had a separate monitor that attached to the typewriter part. Again, it took 3.5 floppies. We had that one until we got our first computer, in the year 2000.
I agree that typing class was the most useful class I took in High School. Only skill I've used consistently since then.
