Ron "Typewriter" Mingo, World's Fastest Typist

link shared Aug 24, 2010 • 6 comments • 1979 views

I ran across this video and thought I'd share it with you all. This video is right yet so wrong. How does a former football, baseball and amatuer boxer become the fastest typist in the world? And proud of it. Gotta love it!

This is beyond awesome. Manual typewriter and all. The man had digital fortitude, in addition to neural velocity. And football, baseball and boxing. Makes me feel like a schlub.

My only question is this: how do we know he's not just typing "dpfu sdfgiunpsidf bdfig hiudf bdfgk df gudh fg odfg ergtert98qy34 t9d fg ddrg"?

I wonder what exactly he typed. Lyrics to songs? Random gushes of words? I'd love to see what one of his completed pages looked like.

When I type that fast, it usually looks like "sa;lfkdj;sdlkfj;lskdfj".

Hey all, I was wondering if he was really typing something too so I looked around and found this real people video of Mingo. 1:34 secs into the video it shows what he is typing! Ha, pretty amazing indeed!

These kids aren't inspired, they're intimidated. After watching his chops, they're going to go outside, throw their typewriters in the trash can, and never type another word.

Where is Ron Mingo today? Is he still in Oakland?
