Barbara Blackburn (World's Fastest Typist) on Letterman - 1985

[jackoramification]

There was no 20 in the countdown lol!

[peanuttherat]

[sdrawkcab190]

[torrentz333]

Damn letterman is old.

[lolicanadian]

[TheRockfan33]

@soccermanabc its called sarcasm...

[FetchedSoul]

This is Starcraft 2 in 1985

[TheSkaboo]

I think she probably was cheating and isn't the worlds fastest typer and they made a story just to cover that up

[TheRockfan33]

What are those machines they are typing on?? O_o lol

[soccermanabc]

@TheRockfan33 typewriters

Letterman was and is an ass. He tricked that lady, and the story came out later that she was devastated, and would never talk about what happened. She wasn't in on his "joke."

[NAMBI2]

dam, so with the modern keyboards, they can prolly type 100x faster! my god lol

[DigitalDailyStore]

@NAMBI2 Actually oddly enough I can type about 116 wpm on a modern keyboard but with a typewriter I can type about 145 wpm.

[NAMBI2]

@DigitalDailyStore O.o really? lol how does that work? im curious cause i just thought that the keys on the typewriter are just not very sensitive, as to the modern ones.... weird ha, but thanks for the info!

[crypticnivek]

@NAMBI2

the modern keyboard was made specifically for less efficiency, people used to type so fast they broke the typewriter.

[NAMBI2]

@crypticnivek ahh i see, well i just never typed with a type writer before, nd by just looking at it, i just thought that it would be slower. Thanks for clearing it up! :)

Dvorak win, Letterman fail.

[petas874]

Dvorak is simply the correct choice. Time to make the switch people.

[sharpnova2]

@petas874 actually that's mostly a myth... idiot.

[petas874]

@sharpnova2 What is a myth? I didn't actually state anything "mythical". Dumbass.

[sharpnova2]

@petas874 oh i see.. you're incapable of utilizing common usages of words.

you must not have heard the phrase "urban myth" or the term "myth" used to describe things collectively assumed true despite their falsehood.

i see you are more of an idiot than i previously thought possible.

[petas874]

@sharpnova2 I see you are incapable of writing grammatically correct, or understanding a sentence. I still did not state anything "collectively assumed to be true". I said "It's the correct choice", and it was for me. Still is.

[sharpnova2]

@petas874 Nope. Again, as I stated from the beginning: Dvorak being better is a myth. Just a childish theory. A way of convincing oneself that the "system" is out to get them.

I type about 200 wpm on qwerty. I know I'm in the minority as one fo the 2 or 3 fastest typists in the world, but guess what? All 2 or 3 of them use qwerty.

We're done here. You've lost.

[petas874]

@sharpnova2 And again, as I stated, I've never stated Dvorak is faster. You sir, are a troll.

[sharpnova2]

@petas874 lol you're mincing words?

you said it was the correct choice. you didn't mean faster? lol.

as soon as someone begins to mince words, they know on a conscious level that they are losing a discussion.

this is over, moron. way to reveal yourself for the pathetic simpleton you are.

[petas874]

@sharpnova2 Obviously qwerty isn't working out so well for you, you're unable to find the shift key. But just to feed you some more (and be a bit more polite, even though you seem to lack the skill for it): I did not mean faster. I've used qwerty for 15 years, never had any issues with it, but switched to dvorak 4 years ago. After a frustrating transitioning period, I now type at about the same speed I did on qwerty, but it is a lot more comfortable. Check out dvzine.org

[sharpnova2]

@petas874 because accuracy matters in youtube comments. youtube is a streamlined process. i have hundreds of comments to reply to daily. i need to get through them all in about 10 minutes so i can get on with my job and life.

the notion that dvorak is better than qwerty in any way is, as i said, a myth.

you're just a contrarion. you think you dvorak is better because you are placeboed into thinking so because it's not "mainstream"

just like a kid.

[petas874]

@sharpnova2 Hehe hundreds of comments to reply to, with accuracy? So, you're basically a troll a hundred times a day, just like now. You don't have a job or a life, so you should probably get on with both of them, or at least launch the project of them.

[sharpnova2]

@petas874 actually i do have a job. and as to whether i have a life.. i'm alive. i do things that i enjoy. is there some other criteria?

lol. you're dumb and you just got owned.

care to cry?

[nejixdragon]

@sharpnova2 99.999999999999999999999999999­99999999999999999999999% of people who say they're the "best' or in the top "x" in the world in some category are usually full of shit

[sharpnova2]

@nejixdragon i don't think you know what the population of earth is..

also i think you throw in too many qualifiers for your sentences to bear any meaning at all.

[nejixdragon]

@sharpnova2 rougly 7 billion and around 40% of those are between the ages of 0 and 40, all im saying is that people who say theyre great usually arent anything near what they say they are

[sharpnova2]

@nejixdragon but that's just statistical padding. obviously the majority aren't the minority but all of the minority are.

basically a bunch of idiots claim to be smart. and a few smart people claim to be smart. because the smart represent a way smaller number of people.

for everyone like me who legitimately hits near 200 wpm on keyboards, there are probably 5 or 10 who claim so but don't.

[HLD452]

I suspected that Blackburn's keyboard layout is DVORAK! Look at the letter "L", it's on the top row before the numbers. I don't know with the woman on the right, looks like it's also DVORAK. I don't know that IBM made DVORAK keyboard layout Selectrics. The typewriter they had was an IBM Selectric 3, I think.

[caldonut]

people this is a typewriter, instead of trashing her, record a vid of yourself using one of these... which we all know you wont

[Sweepersdaughter]

@popopopopdlskfjsl485 The old chick on the left had a record of 215 words per minute. The typist on the right, who was just a part of the letterman staff had the 85 wpm.

[knottyjohnnydirty]

I just typed this comment really fast.

[cvp1969]

and now to the 21st century

who's fastest noooowwwww

[FenceThis]

@theplopr1939 Actually Barbara Blackburn ( the elderly lady apperaing in this footage ) held the world record as an english language typist for another atleast 20 years after this,as according to The Guiness Book of World Records 2005.This Letterman show was in 1985. She died in 2008 in her high 80`s

[sonic371]

The Dvorak keyboard is in no way proven to be faster than QWERTY, it is just healthier for your hands. Look up Sean Wrona, he is easily as fast as this woman and uses the QWERTY layout.

[Agsutantio]

don't forget that they are typing on a TYPEWRITER not a KEYBOARD

[DrummerToast]

I think the world record needs to be updated.. otherwise I'm the fastest, and I really doubt I am. I got 214 in my keyboarding class (If you really feel like going there you can ask my teacher lol.)

[Mrgyn]

@DrummerToast

I can type 170... No way you can type 214.

Prove it.

[uvapride7]

@Mrgyn I know a girl at my school that can type 245.

[ballersack]

@uvapride7

No you don't

[Mrgyn]

@uvapride7

You must be confused... As stated before there is no way somebody can type 214 let alone 245.

[uvapride7]

@Mrgyn Well it was on a particular website that we practice on so it's probably off but I know she types over 200.

[Mrgyn]

@uvapride7

If she can type over 200 then she is the fastest in the world.

[uvapride7]

@Mrgyn I mean you never know man they really dont keep up with that stuff anymore. there is a slight possibility that she could be the fastest. I doubt it, but there is a possibility.

[ThePDGs]

The female on the left is so stupid...

[Pokemon978IsBackOn]

Well, I'm 12, and I am apparently the fastest young typer in the entire state of Illinois. Ask Pat Quinn, please.

[Th3dutch]

@mjw3763 And your 23? Your question sounds like an 5 years old.

But if you must know ask your dad or something.

[mjw3763]

What the hell is a type writer? lol

[soccerkidzzzzzz]

@mjw3763 Seriously dude, your asking this question?

[phillipdogyface]

i think this took place in the hulk dimension...

[SuperCaptainFail]

I expected her to start typing for half a second and then say "Done :)" with the whole thing on the papaer

[The911Retard]

my aunt in 1991 wuz the worlds 2nd fastest typer not joking look her up Andrea Brenner

[crichton55]

2:00 The guy's like "You cannot be serious...."

[sfgiants160]

that guy is a dick and his jokes are horrible

[Kustar10]

thank you for the backspace button

[LinkLoverRinku]

wtf shes retarded

[GMSamuelRhine]

@LinkLoverRinku no sir you are. shes used to a different layout of the keyboard

[LinkLoverRinku]

@GMSamuelRhine haha, um no u are, because im a girl and she is because why couldnt she tell the man that she uses a different layout instead of typing out all this gibberish?

[GMSamuelRhine]

@LinkLoverRinku you truly are an idiot

[LinkLoverRinku]

@GMSamuelRhine stfu

[qyrueyqyr]

what the is that letterman.lol

[Wintu03]

Lol I almost wish that I would have known what the record was when I was in highschool. I graduated in 2004 and during my typing classes (of course I was the fastest typist in my class) I could type as fast as 180 wpm with no errors using touch typing while not looking at the screen (which is great for if you watn to watch tv and type). If I had kept on practicing I think I really could have typed as fast as this woman without contest.

[theiLlama]

@Wintu03 No one cares.

[GREYSONATOR]

@theiLlama then y did u watch it stupid?

[TheNakedQuack]

@Wintu03 Woah really! Cool story, bro

[Lehwah]

hahaha. . . this is just a joke. . . . and Barbara Blackburn rides on Letterman's spoofed jokes. She knew that she is in Letterman's show and would not want to boast on air. . . She's been recognized by the Guiness World Record and many knew that. . . no doubt she's the world's fastest typist of her time.

[beckasha83]

who uses a dvorak anyways?

[MaskedMarvyl]

This is a fail by David on every level; he doesn't ensure there's typing paper, but the lady should have spoken up. They don't let the women practice for a moment before their contest (which they could have done in the green room beforehand) to ensure the machines are working properly. I doubt he had her on again to prove her typing speed.

[Defrath]

@MaskedMarvyl It's supposed to be funny. It's David fucking Letterman.

[AoifePattinsonCullen]

Wow makes my 52 wpm look like.... crap :P
