Am surprised all kids aren't taught to touch type > nowadays. When I handwrite a document (which is rarely), the style is very different to when I type. Different again if I dictate. Personally I think a degree of keyboard skills (including touch typing) should be a requirement for entry to medical school. Doesn't take long to learn; it will save you a vast amount of time later in your career. Poor time management not to acquire the skill. > Who knows, perhaps the kids > born in 2055 > or 2105 won't have handedness anymore; whether it's QWERTY > keyboards or > something much more sophisticated, Something more sophisticated I hope. The QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow your typing down. Switch to a Dvorak (where the letters are more ergonomically arranged- you should be able to set up your computer to think that your keyboard is a Dvorak; and you can pull the letters off and switch them around if you like) and you'll speed up.
