I suspect top speed for typing has increased quite a bit, mainly because 
you never take either hand off the keyboard.   This was also true of the 
guys who punched tape for teletype - no need to take the hands off the 
keyboard.  Many a tape puncher could do 80wpm or so punching tape, but only  
maybe 60 on a old mill.

I think the main cause is that you never move you hands off the keyboard, 
it's just hammer away hour after hour for those doing data entry stuff.
