ORLANDO, Florida - Ben Cook's fingers flurried so fast you could not see what he was doing until he had done it.
But when the cell phone screens cleared, the 18-year-old world's fastest text messenger was handed his first head-to-head defeat Tuesday: a voice recognition computer had bested his record time on a complicated 27-word message by 66 percent.
"I'm a little humbled to have been beaten like that," Cook said with a smile after the race.
