For typists, 60 words per minute is about 60x6=360 key presses per minute (6 = ave word length of 5 + a space). Watch a guitarist's or pianist's fingers, and it's quite amazing how fast the movements are (even or especially when the fingers are your own). Writing with a pen requires surprisingly rapid movements. It can be quite hard to even follow them - the hand really is quicker than the eye. We have amazing engineering.
