I knew someone who did pretty fast 4-finger typing while dancing a quarter between fingers like magicians do. 2 fingers is crazy.
Someone get this kid Mavis Beacon.
Is this how he normally types? I’d try to get him into using more fingers if that’s the case. >

Get this man a copy of Mavis beacon teaches typing! >

God the memories... >

I had Mario Teaches Typing also for DOS, but I feel like the majority remembers Mavis Beacon from school most likely. >

I had Mario too >

If he’s actually typing like that, at least tell him not to move his left hand that way. He can develop carpal tunnel. >

I’m stationed in Japan, just came back and heard him down the hall. I want him to get more digits involved, hopefully in middle school he’ll take typing >

I've learned that they don't really offer typing anymore... >

when did that happen? >

I guess in the past decade it's started to dwindle. That's just what I've heard, I took typing in the mid-2000s and don't have kids in school >

im 16 and we had it in middle school though they just put us on a computer with this old ass software called Type to Learn
we werent really taught by a teacher or anything they just made us use this software >

Save the video for him for his "how I developed RSI you tube video when he's twenty something. That much repetitive movement is asking for trouble. >

His index finger will be a centimeter shorter than  it should be lmfao. >

As someone who has been practicing online for months to learn touch typing and has only been able to reach 55wpm at my peak, I hate him. (/s obviously, not trying to be actually mean, but I mean, damn...) >

That's okay, you can scale to 150+ easily and he's capped out for life. >

Please tell us the secret, o enlightened one! I've been searching and practicing for many months, but still can't get over 40 wpm >

To... typing quickly? If you develop touch typing it is not that hard to do well in excess of 100wpm. My buddy types for work and clocks 180 on a good day. But with hunting and pecking no amount of muscle memory will get you to that point because it's just so fundamentally inefficient. >

180 wpm on a normal keyboard? I thought that was like stenography range! How do I improve? I’ve been stuck at around 135 for like 20 years and I have a hard time imagining my fingers moving any faster. >

I hit 154 at some point on QWERTY. Switching to Dvorak brought be back down to zero, and I haven't reached my old speed yet. Twenty years of QWERTY, and two of Dvorak - I've got time to meet the goal.
I'm at about 130 at this point, also. Mostly dedicated practice, and typing a lot. I am exceptionally verbose on Reddit, Twitter, etc. I definitely don't write every day, though - which I should.
Also, my fastest requires a good keyboard - consistent, short-throw (scissor switches), low actuation force, yet fast return. You might consider usinga different keyboard, and, if you're using full-depth keys, try a shorter-throw, like a scissor switch board. >

What made to decide to switch to Dvorak? >

Not OP but Dvorak is theoretically better for faster typing, which would me my guess as to why he'd make the switch >

Imagine how fast he could be with all 10!
78/2*10 = 390 wpm >

But then he can’t be a doctor >

They have illegible fonts for that >

Wow that right hand is working over time. >

That's 1% of his true power.
