Comment Bad Typists? (Score 1) 148
I manage about 40 WPM with only one hand, because I only have one hand (that has enough coordination to hit the keys, that is). After a while of typing you begin to use "preemptive typing" - your brain thinks what key it to be typed next and moves the center of the hand accordingly. No finger has a set key - whatever finger is closest hits that key. With a small keyboard (such as a newton keyboard) I believe it is actually more efficient to type with one hand. And yeah, my rate varies greatly with mood.
Perhaps they could add an evolving algorithm to the typing interpreter - so that as you begin to type differently using the wireless technology because there are no physical limitations, the program compensates - resulting a gradual shift to the most natural typing position. Who knows? Is the program based on the relative positions of the fingers, relative to the center of the hand? If so, all you would need to do is relax your hand by your side and type.... or perhaps the virtual keys would become smaller than physically pressable, so you would merely twitch the appropriate fingers.. or use chords... Again, it would be interesting to watch the general evolution of interpretive typing.
