School & chat  — 1 week ago

Worth doing!

I had lessons in high school. The teacher was pretty lousy, we had to follow a computer program (on floppy’s, ah, so retro) while she just sat there making sure we were quiet. What a job. Anyhow, we had this class an hour a week for two years, and they stopped when we just started working on the numbers (6 & 8). Seemed like my typing carreer had come to an early end. But then a friend talked me into ICQ (a chat client), and through chatting with my friends I learned to type – and type fast. I dislike chatting now, but the typing sure comes in handy in my job, as I have to write a LOT of emails.

If you learn the basics (finger placement) you’re halfway there, just keep practising.

I dont use all 10...  — 1 month ago

...although is use up to 8 fingers for typing. Never really learned it. Just came up with my own strange method over time.

it's okay..  — 6 months ago

I don’t use my thumbs much, except for the spacebar. So I pretty much use all ten fingers. It’s really useful for when I’m typing long papers. I was lucky to have the typing class my freshman year of high school. Otherwise, I’d probably still be typing with two fingers. :)

I got an firefox add on (and some other downlaod). Practiced for a few days, maybe 20 minutes a day. I’m by no means perfect at it but I can type without looking at the keyboard which actually makes my life so much easier. It’s not hard, there are a bunch of online programmes to download, so get typing! :)

I learnt to type one year at school  — 8 months ago

Worth doing!

We had a Beginner’s Typing course and I came top of the class. I also sat and passed the Pitman’s Typing Exam. Just learning it for one year has really paid off. It is an advantage being able to type so fast – now my hands can just about keep up with my mind! I would hate to go back to not being able to touch type.

There are lots of great typing programs out there people. Just persevere…it’s not as hard as it looks!

All it took for me was writing a lot on my laptop; before I knew it I was typing the right way, though I watched the keyboard the whole time. Then it took a month to get out of that habit and now I can type while talking to people or watching other things. More looking far! Less strain on the eyes!

I type with two fingers and the thumb of my right hand.

And believe it or not I spend over 50% of my work day typing.

I really need to learn to type correctly.

I got a copy of the Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing program. Had it for nearly a month now. Not even looked at it yet.
