Opus 2024-241: Ode to Old: Compensation

I’ve been noticing that as I get older, it’s harder for me to type with accuracy.  I have never been good enough to be a professional typist, but I was able to get stuff done.  Now more and more I am missing the mark.

Step in technology.

I have discovered the voice recognition software that is involved in such basic things as “Notes”.  I find that I can dictate what is on my mind and then edit it before I send it or publish it.  It helps me to organize my thinking.  It helps me to speak more clearly.  All of those are good.  I find I get things written that I would have not written before, and with less frustration.

So let’s hear it for technology.  It may be that the typing skill really isn’t needed anymore.
