Meet my fancy, ergonomic keyboard.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the letter E has completely vanished.
I few months ago I noticed that it was fading, and not to long after that, it was gone!
My missing E has lead me to think about how comfortable I am with using a keyboard,
especially since I've been typing for a long time now.
When I was about 9 (i think), with a bag over my head,
my Dad would have us practice typing the alphabet on our computer.
If I typed the entire alphabet without making a mistake, I would get money!
It was only like .10 or something like that, but it added up over time.
I remember that my sister and I would go into Sanrio Surprises (aka Hello Kitty Store)
with a huge bag bulging with nickels and dimes to purchase whatever our hearts desired.
Anyways, back to typing....
I've always thought that I could type pretty fast.
In the past, I have received scores showing that I type 80 wpm (word per minute).
But, with the mouse getting more action than the keyboard these days,
I have found that my numbers have significantly gone down.
Now, I consistently type about 65 wpm.
This brings me to my newest discovery that I must share with you.
Last week, I found this wildly addictive website called Typeracer.
Not only will it measure your typing speed, but you can "race" against other people!
I couldn't stop doing it once I started, it was so much fun.
What I really found fascinating was that there are people who type almost 200 wpm.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!! I just want to watch someone doing it......
Ok, I just putzed around youtube, and it's not that interesting to watch!
When was the last time you checked how fast you could type?
Go play, and post your score in the comment section, it'll be fun!
