World SMS speed record broken

FTA:

South African representatives, Natalie Witoslawski (20) and Kgothatso Moerane(22), finished fifth in the competition. “It is an awesome experience to be in the same room with some of the world’s fastest texters. We met and made new friends and saw a bit of New York. Definitely a memory to be remembered forever,” says Witoslawski.

Every day the world gets a little step closer to Idiocracy.
 
Well at least the competition text was in normal English. Would be nice if the story had some figures on how many words per minute these kids were able to type.

264-character text in just 1 minute 59 seconds,
Approx 132 characters per minute or 26.4 words per minutes using two fingers which is a little over one fifth the world typing speed record using a regular keyboard and 10 fingers - go figure
