Tue 1 May 2007 - Typing speed
I used to be such a fast typist. From memory, in uni I could top 80 wpm.
I seem to be slowing down, or at least, my accuracy has dropped. I’m not sure if it’s due to
a. getting old
b. the crap keyboard I have at work, which periodically seems to ignore what I press, and has annoyingly unclacky(*) keys
c. lack of practice because I never use ICQ/IRC/any other chat thing anymore
Or all three.
But actually it may be my imagination: I just tried an online typing test and reports I’m still up at 73 wpm (net). So maybe it’s not so bad after all.
Actually it’s probably just (b). Maybe what I should do is replace that keyboard at work with a better one.
(*) That’s a technical term
