A feather doesn't put tons of force on something by sitting on it for a year, nor does a dripping faucet put tons of force on the sink by dripping for years. A feather is still a feather's weight, and a keypress is still just a single keypress of force.

Matt, indeed. It is cumulative force. It was an interesting way to view this in 1941.

Amazing stats. Related: used to hang out with Michael Nesmith of The Monkees. His mom, a typist, was fed up with making corrections and one day applied some white nail polish on an error, and typed over it. Of course, she invented Liquid Paper, and made a fortune.

Do you have a good reference for finger pressures on modern devices: touchscreen press, mouse click, etc?

How many typists back then suffered from RSI and similar stress related injuries, compared to today’s low-travel, hard-spring, flat keyboards? Few, I’d imagine. Maybe professional typists actually learned techniques and posture of typing and thus avoided it?
