Long ago, in the days of the trusty typewriter, many a tree was felled in the production of reams of paper for numerous letters, reports or memos that had to be retyped when subjected to the red felt tip. With the advent of personal computers, considerably more trees could live to a ripe old age, but it also meant that the keyboard was at the mercy of untrained and less restrained fingers. A memory lingers on from 1993 of a memo containing as many different FONTS, and styles as could be squeezed on to an A4 sheet of paper, not to mention the added attraction of italics, bold and underlining. It was typed in all shapes and sizes, they didn’t know where to stop, and it was not professional.
This extreme case has not been experienced again, but the point made here is that nowadays there are many able typists of the two-fingered variety, the knock-on effect of which is that the role of the typist and secretary in the office is now less vital than it once was. However, when it comes to good presentation or even the time-consuming production of large documents, these tasks are tackled more proficiently by those with a full complement of digits at their disposal.
