Shared with two friends in chat and said, "prepare to be challenged."

Their responses:

"Two seconds in and I'm pissed."

and

"This is infuriating"

So congratulations? These are both people that do extensive amounts of work on the computer but none of it involves copying quickly.

For me, I'm a bit curious why words per minute matters for people. It seems like the only time typing so quickly matters is when you are copying things down (written or spoken). Don't you think it is only a matter of time before no one will have to copy something down into text format manually ever again?

I have little knowledge about how the brain works when copying information but it seems that when someone is working hard to quickly copy something down they are not analyzing the meaning of the content nearly as well as if they were sitting and listening. It seems like time could be better spent.

I still think this is an interesting site. I would love to improve my typing accuracy.
