Exactly the same on my phone, @50yearslate, only more angry and struggling. AG can confirm how I stab away at that annoying fecking barsteward screen in frustration with my right forefinger, while fumbling with the addition of my left forefinger when a second touch on the touch screen is needed. Fecking hate phone touch screens. Fecking most pigging stupid great leap forwards for those with clumsy fingers. And I got clumsy fingers.
Yes, Nasty gets frustrated quickly when having to tap on a phone keyboard. I think his laptop is working so he needs to answer the email I sent him. AG can’t wait forever.

Yes. Almost all phones are equipped with Bluetooth, which is basically a short-range connection between devices. My headphones are Bluetooth. My computer’s mouse and keyboard are Bluetooth. You can connect to multiple Bluetooth devices at once. Also, if you’re a Zoomer and you don’t know how to properly type on a keyboard, I think humanity must be regressing.

Offline My mother and my elementary school tried hard to teach me for years, but the typing lessons don’t work if you don’t put your fingers on the keys the way they want you to- after I progressed from the “fjfjfjfj” lessons I just hunted and pecked as I pleased to meet the time limit.
Love one another.

Offline Sigh they should have taught you to type by typing out Beatles* lyrics instead. 
*I mis-typed this (I’m on my phone) and it auto-corrected to ‘Be at peace’.

Offline I learnt to touch-type as part of a course where the typing classes where the part you HAD to pass or fail the whole course (a kind of technical college here called TAFE). I had only bought a computer maybe six months previously so I was quite motivated! However, I am not so motivated by Bluetooth devices and prefer wired or at most WiFi connections generally, as I can control/configure their security better than Bluetooth.
Also I just got new progressive glasses from Zenni and they’re great!

Offline I learnt how to type by going on both children’s chat sites (Club Penguin and the like) and then in later years (when I was about 11, 12, 13) I used to go on chat sites dedicated to interests I had and I’d chat with random people there at like 3am. There could be like 30 or 40 people all posting in the chat at the same time so you’d have to type quickly to get your point in or you’d get caught up in the mess. Made some good friends there who I still talk to, ten years later.
I average approx 83-84 wpm (the average is 40wpm) and 98% accuracy which puts me in about the top 7% of typists. I can use all fingers, not look at the screen blah blah an old job I had was dictating legal notes, whether I was actually qualified for that, who knows? I think I’ve stagnated at my speed though as it hasn’t increased in about 4 years. It’s been a good run.

And now, because I’m a competitive b*****d, I’m going to practice speed-typing. 
Edit: I tried again, got Hey Jude , and managed 83 WPM with 97% accuracy 
my fingers must like Hey Jude ‘s lyrics better.

He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.
