It seems like your comment applies to me, so I hope you won’t mind if I interrogate you a bit. I just read the linked rant, and I see that you offer no citations or justifications for your claims. You talk about complaints of sore fingers; I have no such complaints. I don’t have RSI problems despite over a decade of work in the computer industry (paying attention to basic ergonomics helps).
So I am really curious (and please don’t take my question as hostile, it’s not meant to be): you make such strong, heartfelt claims that it’s absolutely necessary to touch-type and that people who don’t touch-type are NOT TYPING PROPERLY and DON’T KNOW HOW TO TYPE etc., but… can we have some backup for these claims? Citations? Any evidence at all?
(Also, what are your thoughts on the reasons I provide in my comment here for why touch-typing, even if it radically increased my typing speed per se, would not actually save me much time?)
