i spent a lot of time on the net (irc) as a kid, and even then my typing didn't go above 50wpm until i actually sat down and taught myself how to type correctly, and then practiced deliberately. i remember i went from 40wpm to 100wpm in a single summer.

most people never actually learn to type correctly, they just keep doing the wrong thing forever. of course, once you actually learn to do it right, you're practicing all the time and after several years you can easily get up to and past 120wpm if you sit in front of a computer all day.
