I know when I was younger (6th grade-ish) I struggled in our typing class. It was your most stereotypic typing class, you look at your hands and you get a mark, you slouch you get a mark (I probably shouldn't have rebelled against that one) but the point was I got a bad grade in that class and the next year was introduced to Yahoo messenger where I could chat with all my friends. While using messenger it took me less than a few months to learn to type fluently.
As for cursive, I learned it in elementary school as well, haven't used it since.
For typing or writing out notes, I've never seen many people type out notes in my classes, but at the same time all my classes are math, chem, physics etc.
