What does typing have anything to do with handedness? Left handed people use same keyboard, same mouse as right handed. I'm pretty positive that typing on keyboard has nothing to do with which hand you prefer to use.
If you are a lefty, you pretty much HAVE to be ambidextrous to some point. |
well i do most of the stuff with right hand while typing with left
i cant use my right hand i find it somehow difficult and my sis using the opposite, typing with right hand...what i said it might be a rumor and who knows?it might be true XD
science always saying by measuring some ppl.
luna>this would be balance ^ ^
with this righty and lefty are even.

Wait a minute, you mean you type with one hand? You don't use the proper touch typing technique? You should learn to type properly.

hmm checked on wiki...
causes of left handedness:
| Quote: |
Long-term impairment of the right hand: Studies show that people with long-term impairment of the right hand are more likely to become left-handed, even after their right hand heals. Such long term impairment may include from 6 months or more.
Testosterone: According to one theory, exposure to higher rates of testosterone before birth can lead to a left-handed child.
Birth stress theory: Left-handedness may be due to stress at birth.
Ultrasound theory: A popular theory is that ultrasound scans may affect the brain of unborn children, causing higher rates of left-handedness in mothers who have ultrasound scans compared to those who do not. This is probably based on a few studies [11] [12]where this relation is studied. In one of these the authors claim that "...we found a possible association between routine ultrasonography in utero and subsequent non-right handedness among children in primary school." However later in the same article the authors state that "Thus the association ... may be due to chance" and "The result was not significant, suggesting that the study had insufficient statistical power to resolve the relationship between ultrasonography and subsequent left handedness in the child" |

| The thing is WHAT causes left-handedness? The only possible reason that most people uses right hand is to follow the majority... it has nothing to do with gene right? Maybe people who got ultrascans are more rebellious... |

du5k>> didn't i just put up WHAT causes left handedness..
well what i think is left handedness isn't really "caused" but rather "influenced"
i don't know what testosterone has got to do with being the cause of left handedness but one of the examples stating that the impairment of the right hand is a good example of influencing your being a lefty..

Well to be honest, the way I learned how to type properly isn't something I wanna brag about... I took "keyboarding" class in high school.

In gr.7, all students had to do a keyboarding test and everybody had to pass to move on LOL
I'm right handed all the way. Although when I ride my bike with one hand, only the left hand can keep it stable ---______________---

The job I work at requires me to type furiously fast with number pad.
My brother (he's lefty) also works there, but he can type on same num pad as fast as or even faster than right handed people.
