    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.

      I think it was still taught to business students up until the mid-90's in my country. That's also how I got my hands on an old Gregg shorthand textbook. That, and typing (via a typewriter) which was the one I learned when I was in high school.

      Had I had a choice, I would have chosen to learn shorthand instead.
