ARE YOU SLOW AT TYPING?
Do you get frustrated that you cannot type fast? Perhaps you use one or two fingers to type while looking at the keyboard instead of the screen. We get it - you always take too long to finish but that can all change when you learn to touch type.
Touch typing is a basic skill for the 21st century, unfortunately it’s no longer taught in most schools. Most develop idiosyncratic, personalised hunt-and-peck methods. Many do not touch type, or type without looking at the keyboard by placing the fingers on the home keys (asdf jkl;).
WHY TOUCH TYPING MATTERS SO MUCH
Does it matter how we type? Yes. Touch typing allows us to write without thinking about how we are writing, freeing us to focus on what we are writing, on our ideas. Touch typing is an example of cognitive automaticity, the ability to do things without conscious attention or awareness. Automaticity takes a burden off our working memory, allowing us more space for higher-order thinking. (Other forms of cognitive automaticity include driving a car, riding a bike and reading—you’re not sounding out the letters as you scan this post, right?) When we type without looking at the keys, we are multi-tasking, our brains free to focus on ideas without having to waste mental resources trying to find the quotation mark key. We can write at the speed of thought.
