Turn-of-the-Millenium Technology was a history course taught at Starfleet Academy on the level of late 20th century. Among the subjects taught in this course was a section on typing.

When Voyager inadvertantly travelled to the 20th century, Chakotay ribbed Kathryn Janeway for never learning to type. To which replied by stating that the course wasn't required at the Academy, and that the entire subject was "like stone knives and bearskins." (VOY: "Future's End")

Montgomery Scott shared a similar moment after he had travelled back to 1986, and had an encounter with a Macintosh computer. Like Janeway he described the level of technology at the turn of the millenium as "quaint." Unlike Janeway, however, he appeared to know his way around computer systems of the time.
