I learned to type on an old keyboard where the hammers got stuck. And then I took 2 years of typing class in high school: first year was manual typewriter (aka "hammers") and the 2nd was electric typewriters, which had half the class using the "hammer" style electric typewriter, and the other half using IBM Selectric typewriters (they had a little Ball that had all the letters imprinted on it). I liked the Selectric style, some preferred the "old style".
