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?)
Thus spake Eliezer:
It seems that many here might have outlandish ideas for ways of improving our lives. For instance, a recent post advocated installing really bright lights as a way to boost alertness and productivity. We should not adopt such hacks into our dogma until we're pretty sure they work; however, one way of knowing whether a crazy idea works is to try implementing it, and you may have more ideas than you're planning to implement.
So: please post all such lifehack ideas! Even if you haven't tried them, even if they seem unlikely to work. Post them separately, unless some other way would be more appropriate. If you've tried some idea and it hasn't worked, it would be useful to post that too.
