Well, I was thinking about this... maybe this can help people improve their pinky finger.

Okay, first of all you must make sure that you are a computer geek... now this may work wonders if you like chatting. Now I think you all should get the point now.. yes, use the pinky to type. This may sound like a weird idea but I think it can improve the flexibility of your pinky.

How? Well, usually when a person starts playing guitar.. they find that the pinky is a very annoying thing because it is not as flexible as the other fingers (the fret-board side usually). Now this can be fix by playing scales or just using the pinky a lot but it can get boring so some people might not work on the pinky at all. However, if my theory is correct, typing with the pinky might be something fun to do that can improve the flexibility and accuracy of your pinky.

Now this is just a theory so I might be wrong.. but whatever it is, give me some opinions.

Hmm, i am sure this can also be done with the other fingers.

Ummm... I had a similar idea, since I am right handed and more flexible/coordinated with the right hand. I decided to learn to use my left for things I would normaly use my right for, to improve coordination. I learnt to write with my left hand, I use it for other menial tasks like picking up cups/glasses, opening doors, typing, using a knife and fork and things like that. I'm practically left handed now and I've noticed a real improvement.
