Trang 1British woman, Melissa
Thompson has broken the
world record for typing the
fastest text message, after typing a
26 word message in 25.94 seconds The
previous record holder typed the same
words earlier this year in 35.54
seconds
A
Thompson told Sky News that she was
shopping with her boyfriend when she
was approached by Samsung to try and
break the record: "I used to send a lot
of text messages - 40 or 50-a-day to
Chris alone so we both knew I could
type fast But since we moved in
together and I started my job I
haven't been texting as much and, you
could say, my fingers were out of
shape." Obviously not that out of
shape
The message she typed in 25.94
seconds:
The razor-toothed piranhas of the
genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus
are the most ferocious freshwater
fish in the world In reality they seldom attack a human"
Officials from Guinness World Record must approve her victory before entering her into the record books And this is the world we live in
