I like asking people what grade they got in typing class – whether it’s medical school or law school. It’s a trick question, but it always gets the point across. Most people can’t type, don’t like to type, don’t want to learn how to type, you get the idea.
Frequently people will tell me that they are “very fast” typists. I’m not sure what that really means, but I know that most people can speak clearly at somewhere between 120-140 words a minute. I don’t know anyone who can type that fast. Remember, this is all about putting technology to work to save time.
