    I’m old enough to remember when shorthand was a required course for women in secretarial schools. I always though it was black magic and very cool.

        In my 60’s. According to Internet sources, shorthand was taught in schools until the 1990’s. It’s likely that shorthand use declined as PCs became common in offices.
