I learned to type as an option at school - and practised by typing up all my A-level notes. My dad had bought me an Olivetti portable typewriter and I still have my history and English lit notes with key words typed in red to help my revision. I have never regretted it as I've had to type in all my jobs and now that computers are the way forward, touch typing is a very useful skill. Last time I was tested I was doing about 75-80 wpm. But its much easier on a modern keyboard than an old typewriter which relied on manual effort! nell |

78-81 wpm on the 3 times I tried, and thats after several glasses of wine! Took an evening class in typing 20 years ago and though I had a degree and loads of qualifications it was the most useful thing I ever did. Has been a great help in everything I've done since. Angela |

In 1960, when I was in the royal signals, I could listen to morse code, and type the text at better than 35 words(5 characters= a word) a minute.......on a basic Imperial Typewriter, or teleprinter. however, since then I have lost the tip of a finger, and the touch typing went into cyber space........... LOL Now its a two finger approach at about 15 words a minute........... Bob well done to all you experts that can type ACCURATELY at speed............ |
