Given enough time, a hypothetical monkey typing at random would, as part of its output, almost surely produce all of Shakespeare's plays. The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare . In this context, "almost surely" is a mathematical term with a precise meaning, and the "monkey" is not an actual monkey , but a metaphor for an abstract device that produces an endless random sequence of letters and symbols.
