Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 2 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 2 minutes to read it.
In the modern world it is hard to imagine a person who cannot use a computer. Using a computer involves typing. This skill is not so easy to learn. You must learn how to type using both hands. The more fingers you can use for typing, the faster you type. Moreover, you must remember the position of each key on the keyboard and so on. It’s good if you can type without looking at the keyboard. However, new research shows that this skill is truly necessary only for professional typists. Even they type much slower when they have to write an email or any other kind of message. Their speed of typing drops from 80 words a minute to 45 words a minute. Besides, now people often copy and paste ready texts and then just edit them. So typing fast may be a skill which will be unimportant in the future.
