Touch Typing

What is touch typing? Definition.
Being able to type on a keyboard without looking. Typing using touch. Each finger has multiple keys that it is used to type and both hands are spread across the keyboard.

Why should you learn to touch type? Reasons.
On average a person who can touch type types 7 times faster than a normal typist. It saves loads of time. Some would object saying that they don't have the time to learn. Well, it really isn't all that hard. You end up saving so much time that it is well worth it. Typing becomes less of a chore and more of something you do quite naturally.

How can I learn? Info.
There are plenty of games on the internet and courses you can go to but in my opinion the best way is just to get a program for your computer which you can learn on. They include games as well as lessons so it ends up being really fun. I recommend the program 'Mavis Beacon'.

Don't be scared! Go on try it!
