Touch Typing

Touch typing is typing without having to look at the keyboard. It’s an essential skill in this age of computers and the internet. You learn how to read, you learn how to write, and you learn how to touch type. Fuck cursive. That shit was a waste of time. Touch typing should be second nature. If it’s not, than everything I know about Qwerty is wrong. The best thing about touch typing is just being in the zone and hearing the click-click-clack of your fingers transforming a blank page into something unique and creative. Each keystroke is an explorer discovering something new and exciting. The scratch of a pen over paper isn’t nearly as satisfying. Maybe Mario taught you touch typing, maybe it was Mavis Beacon. But it’s a skill that no person of the 21st century should be without.

Typing On Your Phone with One Finger

I was at the baseball game the other day, and I noticed the middle-aged woman sitting right in front of me was on her iPhone for most of the game. She was taking pictures and uploading them to Facebook, constantly updating her status, responding to all the lame comments that her lame friends were making about her lames pictures, and she spent a good solid 9 innings glued to her fucking phone. None of that shit bothered me. What bothered me was the fact that she was only using her pointer finger to type everything. She was moving at a snail’s pace. My grandma can type faster than her. My grandma knows to turn the phone sideways and to use two thumbs. I know you might be a little clueless on technology, but that has nothing to do with a lack of common sense. Typing on your phone with one finger is stupidly wrong. I don’t like to use the word retarded, but that’s what it is. You are fucking retarded if you’re typing with just your index finger. The only acceptable reason for typing on your phone with one finger is if you only have one finger. If you have thumbs, you should use those. Your phone’s keyboard was fucking designed for your fucking thumbs. If you don’t know how to use your phone, you don’t deserve your phone.
