Gen Zers are learning to type faster to get more out of AI
Original: These Gen Zers are teaching themselves typing to prompt AI better, or have a leg up in the work world
Some members of Gen Z are teaching themselves touch typing, a skill many skipped as smartphones replaced keyboards in their upbringing. The motivation is twofold: typing fluently lets them write and refine AI prompts more efficiently, and it gives them an advantage in office jobs where fast, accurate keyboard skills still matter. The trend highlights a skills gap created by a mobile-first generation entering keyboard-centric workplaces.
Why now: Young workers are realising that typing speed affects both AI prompting and employability, making an overlooked skill newly relevant.
