I know it's quite a radical way of thinking but I want to put it out to you all that every one should learn to type on a keyboard using all of their fingers and thumbs. This also involves sitting up straight at a desk with feet flat on the floor. This skill is not taught formally yet millions of people use a keyboard every day.
To become a skillful touch typist it takes around six weeks to master the home keys of
ASDF (SPACE) JKL;
and after that each finger is taught to remember where the other letters are. It is not that difficult, just repetitive.
Six weeks is not a lot of time. I can type as fast as I can think.
Now I have a smart phone I can use one finger nail to type a message or alternatively two thumbs. This is proving quite difficult, inaccurate and frankly it's a right palaver. I am a ham fisted, special needs lummox at smart phone typing.
I did say I would keep you posted regarding the evolution of my smart phone usage - well I've been rating it at the status of 'hate' but in the last day it's gone up, slightly, to 'I'm not really getting on with it'
And frankly why do I need notification beeps when someone emails because when I decide to look at my laptop I can see that information - when I decide to look...is the need for immediate response that great? I am not a world leader or whiz invester who needs to buy - no - sell...
