I will not base this story on my childhood since I can't remember anything at all from this part of my life. I don't have a clue how I was back then or what I have lived.

I will go back though, in my adult life, at the time I was Intervention Specialist. I have worked for a long time with children with "special needs". Children with physical needs, mental needs, emotionnal needs.

Back then I had a special program on my computer that children could used, play around with, learn from it and so on. One of the little girl was 3 years old and one of the little boy was 3 years old. Both really liked the computer so everytime they were with me they would play around with the keyboard writting sometime words that didn't make any sense. So, as children learned with their eyes and by touch I showed them a " special place" that they could click on to make it even more fun. That "special place" became very important to them as it open another window where they could even " click on another special place". That "special place" was " Spell check". No, sometime even with this "special place" it still didn't make any sense but it sure did help.

Now, if you think that a 3 year old can't type, think again. Go see in a daycare and see what children are learning today, you will be surprised.

Can adult hands type with a memory of a 3 year old? This answer is Yes.

Thank you for reading.
