That’s misleading and you know it. Nobody suggested that we type without autocorrect. What the GP said is that you can learn to type efficiently without looking on a touch screen keyboard because autocorrect is good enough. Yeah, I had a Motorola Milestone (EU version of the droid) and I could type without looking. It was pretty nice being able to type that way. But in no way would I want to go back to such a brick in my pocket.

I haven't done any formal experiments but it sure feels like autocorrect hurts newly as much as it helps. I'm constantly having to stop and retire words that it gets wiring.
