Let me share some fun facts and thoughts regarding touch typing.

Is fast typing still significant?

In today's digital landscape, the significance of fast typing cannot be overstated. Despite the prevalence of touchscreen keyboards on smartphones, typing on a traditional keyboard remains indispensable. As professionals, creating content effectively using a smartphone isn't as efficient or productive. You may argue that dictation is a faster way of typing, but if you master touch typing, you should be able to type very fast. While some opt for dictation, the keyboard's enduring value lies in the control and precision it offers. When you type, you have a visual connection to the content, allowing you to craft sentences in the context of the entire document and make precise corrections. Correcting the text with voice is quite inconvenient. Generally, if you are not an expert in fast typing, a significant advantage of using a keyboard is the silence when creating content. You do not need to use your voice all the time, ... and what if your voice is damaged because of long dictating sessions? So, yes, fast typing is not just significant; it is a fundamental skill that empowers us in our digital age, ensuring that our thoughts and ideas can flow seamlessly from our minds to the screen, ultimately enhancing our professional and personal success.
