I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.

How old are you out of curiosity? I read somewhere that typing speed had steadily been increasing in the newer generations until somewhere around 1995-2000 and then afterwards typing speed started going down again.
I find it fascinating. I grew up playing World of Walmart and Runescape (and later on League of Legends when it came out) so typing quickly was sort of a necessary learned behavior. That along with being online all the time either through MySpace / AIM / MSN Messenger / reddit (later on Facebook)…
These days kids just don’t have access to the computer like my generation did. My dad would go to garage sales and impulsively buy old computers. I would take them apart and put them together. Would install a different distro of Linux every week. All from the age of 11~12
Didn’t know wtf I was doing but over time you learn.
I feel bad for kids these days. They’re not growing up with desktop PCs. They’re growing up with tablets and smartphones. They will always be used to these closed down operating systems and never truly understand the mechanics of how an OS works.
To answer your question - no. Typing on a keyboard is by far my favorite way to get down information. I can peak around 160wpm and average around 130wpm give or take 20wpm depending on density of text. I can’t get anywhere close on the phone. Peak around 90wpm average like 70wpm.
Me too! Good memories. It was better before they nerfed the produce department though.
