In my second job out of grad school, the company I worked for, had a stable of ‘typists.’ No joke. My first job was at Booz*Allen… we all fucking knew how to type ourselves… I always wondered what happened to those jobs over time.

Quotes around typists because I’m not really sure what the hell they really did as it’s hard for me to comprehend a professional who cannot type… certainly now, but even back then.

Can you imagine that? “Here honey, you mind typing this up for me? I noted my corrections in the margins.”

I don’t have to imagine it. There are attorneys at my firm that still dictate letters and other legal documents. In fact, they swear by it. The human transcribers are slowly being replaced by computers, but we still have assistants that spend a large part of their day entering dictation into Word documents.

When I worked for J&J in the 1980s, I had a secretary that typed for me and another manager in that fashion. Toward the end of my career, the role of personal assistants became much more helpful in boosting my productivity. Typists, travel agents, the world of work is changing a lot. The medical and legal professions have been leading the way in speech recognition software use (e.g., Dragon Naturally Speaking). Although trained transcribers quickly do a first check transcribed text, they are very few in number as accuracy is about 99% and the authors rarely have to change a word in the text before signing it off.

When one considers that changing working world and the success of Texas football, I'd like to propose that Dragon Naturally Speaking be investigated for the demise of Bevo.

Texas posts new job opening that could be connected to Gary Patterson's future role

Over the last few weeks, former TCU head coach Gary Patterson emerged as a likely candidate to join Steve Sarkisian’s staff at Texas in some way.

It sounds like a perfect fit for Patterson, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he is hired as the special assistant to the head coach in the near future.

While I'm not a UT fan, since the UGA interaction, I am a Bevo fan.
If his team showed half the fire, they might be able to beat Kansas.

Yeah, Bevo 1 - UGA 0

I'm waiting for the "pay for view": Ralphie vs Bevo
