Little girl can type 119wpm
This little girl can type 119 wpm. It's not just a skill, it's a hobby. She started playing on the computer at age 4 and spends her weekends typing. Her goal right now? "I'd like to get to at least 200(wpm)."
While this may sound strange, I can understand the allure of the type test � when I was in middle school, I used to procrastinate from studying by taking type tests on my super old Apple machine. It's really not that different from any other addictive game � most of us now associate it with work, but back then I was constantly trying to beat myself in speed and accuracy. By the way, if you're curious to know how fast you're typing, you can take a one-minute typing test here. |

| Bit like using an abacus, outdated talent. Give her a cell phone and her typing speed is probably much slower. |

| Sounds like she has a slight speech impediment. I wonder if the two are somehow related |

| Good grief! Can't any of you guys ever be happy for someone else? I guess misery loves company. |

| I took the one minute typing test advertised in the article... my speed was about 40wpm. I've just been pwoned by a middle school student (and most of the educated population.) |

| I got 82 WPM with 97% accuracy. If my fingers weren't frozen solid I probably could've done better. |

| Wasn't there an article a few months back about a Korean who can type like 250 words per minute, with his toes? Insane but it was printed in Korean media... |
