@newsguyusa very interesting! I write for a living - history mostly, sometimes creatively for recreation. In my heyday, I could easily do 80wpm and then some. I learned on an IBM Selectric. My high school typing teacher ruled that class with an iron set of fingers. Everyone in class had all sorts of unflattering names for her, but when I got into college, I began to appreciate the valuable skill she had taught me. Then came the PC. It was supposed to make our lives faster, easier, and more efficient. It has with some things, but not typing. Those vile keys known as “backspace,” “delete,” and the combination “ctrl x” made us lazy. My typing teacher must be turning in her grave. However, computers have another problem — the keyboard. On my main writing PC I use a twenty year old HP keyboard because it feels right. It has that firm clackity-clack that almost makes me feel like I’m really typing. I won’t even try serious writing on a laptop. I suppose arthritis doesn’t help either.
