What's funny is I did pretty much the exact opposite of what Tangora recommended and was still successful and even more accurate than most of my peers: I almost never sat up straight and instead usually slouched downward, usually with legs crossed and often even sitting them on my desk, far more arm motion than he would have tolerated, and no permanent position for any of my fingers, in addition to an atrocious diet and rarely if ever exercising.

it was nothing like today's era where many of the top typists were underachieving, self-loathing gamers who didn't take good care of ourselves.

Now that typing has become less of a career skill and more of a computer game these days, it has like most other games become dominated by the socially awkward, the nerdy, and the isolated. [...] Some of the very greatest typists nowadays lead wildly unbalanced lives and aren't the most emotionally balanced or stable.
