Things that have changed

Yes, anyone can 1 or 2-finger the keyboard. Learning to touch type lets you type much faster. Depending on how much typing I've been doing lately, I vary between 45 and 75 wpm. I could be faster, but I stop to correct all my mistakes. Well, all of the ones I notice. Noobdy is prefect.

I don't know what a good speed is but that seems super slow. That's almost a full second for every word. Is that considered normal? Is that why people seem shocked when young people reply to things quickly?

It might be a nice little niche trade to set up a darkroom that can handle 35mm film to serve the 'diehards'. I don't know if it would be profitable, but it might pay for itself.

Another little niche trade is converting negatives to digital images, my mother has perhaps 6 boxes of old photographs going back to those she inherited from her mother who inherited and so on... so she's got negatives dating from the 1930s to the 1990s. I'd imagine if she has that, so do thousands of others who might prefer a nice set of CDs, or a Thumbdrive or something else with their photographs. I just don't know how much I'd pay for it, (or charge to do it).

It would be time-consuming. And probably more than a bit boring. So I would expect it to be expensive. Probably all done by hand, as film is delicate. Wouldn't want to get sued for the equipment scratching an irreplaceable negative. For that matter, I wouldn't want to scratch a negative just on the basis that it would be poor craftsmanship.
 
I mean, I just loaded this page and got these results while I was smoking and not paying much attention. So I'll consider this a shitty minimum for people who hate and refused to participate in typing class. I'll try again when I finish my cig and see what I get.

I had to take a photography class like that in college, with actual film. It was a prereq to the higher up classes and it was /weird/. Hands-on photoshop is really chemically. It'll give you a major headache.

Kids today have no idea what a cassette tape and a #2 pencil have in common. They certainly don't know what a cassette tape is, and maybe not a #2 pencil!

LOL, my kids are young enough that almost all the comments here should count towards them but I'm old enough that almost all of this means nothing to them.

My kids listen to vinyl and cassettes
#2 pencils are still a must in school
They have used a rotary phone
Typewriters
Paper and pencil is still the choice for homework for them.
Film cameras still being used in my house (by the kids)

The more things change the more they stay the same

It is like lightning compared to 2-finger typing.

And reasonable for someone who does not type all the time, or only types short messages like these.

Lucky you, what a treasure.

Seems it can be done for very little money, if you have the time. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Film-Scanners/ci/1151/N/4077634573

DAMN I got CONSIDERABLY worse when I paid attention. By a lot. 3.5 times as bad. Apparently the secret to typing is to half ass it.

Where'd you get film? Did you have to order it? Because I still have my uuber fancy camera from college and there aren't any stores around here that sell film. So that'd be awesome info. I could be one of those retro hipsters.

Walgreens as far as I know. It's Fuji-film. Walgreens, CVS and such still develop it in store also
 
That typing test is fun, but it doesn't include punctuation, paragraphing, capitalization or symbols. That makes it a bit weak when it comes to an argument about anachronism.
