Our Fingers Takes 4,500 Actions To Produce A 3-Minute Story. Give Them A Break!
If we write — Our fingers are our greatest asset. Do we give them the break that they deserve?
I know I sound crazy. I mean, we know that it is important to give our minds a break. We snap when we push ourselves too hard. What about our fingers?
We know that every 250 words constitute 1 minute of reading time.
Assume that every word requires 5 letters and a space bar. That would be 6 finger actions multiplied by 250 words.
That produces 1,500 actions with 0 editings.
The statistics for a 3-minute read without any edits would involve 1,500 unique actions per minute multiply by 3 minutes — 4,500 actions.
Our fingers will have to kiss the keyboard 4,500 times to produce a story. Our fingers got to move forward to punch, retract from the contact, and punch again.
I know I sound crazy, but how would you feel if you have been kissing Ys, As, Ss, Ts, Os the entire morning?
And we wouldn’t be kissing once in a day. You will be kissing them many, many times.
We have 26 alphabets, a spacebar, and throw in the 10 digits we routinely use. It is a total of 37 unique buttons.
Divide 4,500 actions into 37 unique buttons give us 167 repeat visits.
Can you imagine kissing the letter K 167 times?
Give your fingers a break.
