How to type fast

Over on Cognitive Daily the results of the typing quirks survey is back. Want to type fast? Play a musical instrument. There's a direct correlation between music (especially a keyboard) and typing speed. Not looking at the keyboard doubles your speed (I'm a data point outlier at 63 wpm, and I look). You're fastest if you learned in school, on a computer. Pick a thumb, just one thumb, to hit the spacebar. Ambidexterity here shows you down.
