President Donald Trump on Wednesday took credit for ExxonMobil’s announcement of a $20 billion, 47,000 jobs investment in the United States, but the investment isn’t entirely new, NBC News reported. Some of the spending on the $20 billion investment began in 2013, according to the company’s press release. Still, this is not the first time Trump has taken credit for job creation and corporate spending that was in motion before he took office. He said, for example, that he struck a deal with Carrier to preserve more than 1,100 jobs in the U.S. However, his deal actually saved 800 jobs or fewer, according to union officials. He also took credit for General Motors’ announcement of a plan that would make for the creation or retention of 1,500 jobs, the return of 450 jobs and the addition of 5,000 jobs “over the next few years.” GM Officials said that the decision dates back as early as 2014.
The time-honored skill of typing is still helpful, but it's becoming less necessary. And that raises the question: Does typing have a future?
In high schools and community colleges where keyboarding classes have been a staple for decades, some fear the courses may go the way of cursive writing lessons in elementary schools.
Dallas typing instructor Julie Phillips says predictive keyboards on smartphones and tablet touch screens that guess which words are being typed have taken the skill out of keyboarding. She says fewer students are coming in with keyboarding knowledge.
Mobile technology analysts say keyboards likely won't disappear from computers. But mobile phone-makers say speed is important, and predictive screens decrease the time needed to type -- or thumb -- each word.
