Typing Is Dead in the Age of AI… Or Is It?

Ever feel like your thoughts are racing faster than your fingers can type?


– It’s OK, there is no reason to chase them any longer!

When Everything Speeds Up, Let Yourself Slow Down

Today, AI finishes your sentences and voice assistants answer before you’re done speaking. It makes you wonder: why even bother typing anymore?

The simple answer is — you don’t have to. But maybe that’s exactly what makes it special. There’s something good about letting your hands move, not to be faster or productive, but just to slow down for a moment. To feel time stretch a little.

  • Voice is fast. This can be slow.
  • AI predicts. You can wander.
  • No rules. No rush. Just you.

Not everything needs a reason. Some moments are better when you let them be. Maybe this is one of those moments.

Type if you feel like it. Or don’t. Either way, it’s fine.

 

In today’s fast-moving, AI-driven world, most things are optimized, scheduled, and instantly produced for us. Not everything we do has to be.

What Happens When You Let Your Hands Move?

You don’t need a reason to type. And if you do, it can be this: a quiet, personal space where your thoughts flow in their own time, through your own hands, without deadlines or outcomes.

🕒 A Pause From Hurry

In a culture obsessed with speed, this is your permission to go slow. One word. Then another. No rush.

🧘 A Moment of Your Own

Let your hands move for no one but yourself. There’s peace in shaping sentences you don’t need to send.

🛡️ A Gentle Return to Simplicity

No algorithms, no voice commands. Just you, a keyboard, and a quiet place to be present with your thoughts.

🏆 No Goal Required

Not every activity needs a point. This one is simply yours to experience, or leave behind, as you like.

Typing, like humming a tune or scribbling a doodle, doesn’t need a reason to exist. It can be one of those small, unnecessary pleasures we forget to allow ourselves.

Whether you stay for a paragraph, a word, or nothing at all — this space is yours. No hurry, no expectations, no outcomes required.

– Stay a while if it feels good.

How Much Time (and Money) Does Typing Actually Waste?

Typing might not feel like a big deal, but if you type every day, even small differences in speed can add up over time.

Use the calculator below to see how much time and money slow typing could be costing you over a week, a month, or a year — based on your typing speed and how often you type.

Why Do People Still Type?

Even with voice typing and AI tools, many people still prefer typing when it really matters. It’s not just about speed — it’s about focus and control.

Typing helps you stay in one mode: reading and writing. Voice input forces you to switch between speaking, listening, correcting, and breathing, which makes it harder to focus. Typing keeps things simple when you need clear, well-shaped thoughts.
