Part one: Introduction Touch screens bring amazing new features, like swiping and... well, that's about it. Anyway, I don't really care. The only really functional method for text entry is still the physical keyboard. Even though they all look roughly the same, there are many variables. Especially if you spend a large part of your life using a keyboard, you should be aware of the options you have. I present without slides, but I do lookup images and websites during the presentation. Try to measure your typing speed before this talk: http://typing-speed-test.aoeu.eu/ It takes one minute. Compare your score to others around you. Part two: Dvorak workshop With my Dvorak training course, everyone* can learn to touch type the entire alphabet within ten hours. Many nerds have even done the entire course in less than five. I'll guide you through the first lesson of the online typing course, after some hands-on exercises that'll help to kickstart the "muscle memory" training. There will be a few keyboards for those who can't bring a laptop, but it works better if the letters you type actually do appear on a screen! * Except people with dyslexia, really dumb people, and of course people who lack motivation. Sorry about that. :-)
