The typewriter generation are probably faster overall because they don't make mistakes.

Being able to delete any error makes you far less careful.

Sure, modern programs will autocorrect for you, but autocorrect to what?

Yeah, it was funny teaching my grandmother to use a computer... She couldn't use a mouse, but she typed really fast!

Microsoft word fixing tiny mistakes like reversed i and e or other very common errors has made me an absurdly lazy typist.

Indeed. I joke that I can type 100 words per minute but that 32 of them are backspace.

I can type fast, but I have to hit the backspace really often.
