Anecdotal: Growing up my school had various computer classes, starting in elementary all the way through high school. In high school we had a computer proficiency class which was basically "how to use a computer for dummies 101" type of class and one of the competencies the teacher had us work on was typing. Well me, having grown up with computers, I was beyond proficient and in particular was quite a competent typist. Being an engineer at heart (lazy) I realized I could rig the system and be just fast enough each week to win but also faster than my classmates to remain on the leaderboard. The teach was thoroughly pleased with my weekly progress and applauded my efforts. All the while I was busy gaming (Nerf Arena, Quake) on a LAN with some others in the school who were "computer proficient".
