There are many positive effects of touch typing. For me, the most important are:
- You can rewrite a text from a book, tracking the sentences all the time (I mean, you don't have to move your head up and down),
- You can connect the computer to the TV and look at the big screen without worrying about looking down at the keyboard,
- Looking only at the screen, you can keep track of whether mistakes/typos you are making.
Some other advantages you can see in this video:
My opinion about touch typing? When I started doing it, it was very frustrating. Writing just one word took me forever, because at first I had to think, where a key is and which finger I have to use to press it.
Do you want to start touch typing? I have two advice for you:
1. Try exercises on the Internet
Typing.com is a useful website where you can practice your typing skill. There are a few lessons, divided into levels of difficulty. In the first lesson, you learn how to use the most basic keys: F, J and space, and end up learning Z and Q.
You can do it here:
2. I can also recommend you rewriting any text you like, especially in your native language. In your mother language you will probably write the most, that is why it is SO important. What is more, I trained with words like szczekać or chrząszcz: you have to use your ring fingers and small fingers a lot, which are the weakest ones.
As for me, I still can't write smoothly without looking at the keys, but I do exercise and I hope one day I'll achieve a good level in it :)
For everyone who wants to start touch typing, I wish you good luck!
PS. If you can't do it no matter what, you can try these amazing keyboards. Unfortunately, the price is also amazing...
