Are You a Touch Typist?

Touch typing is the fastest way to type. It is much faster than the "hunt and peck" typing that most people normally do. Do you "hunt and peck" those keys on the keyboard? I hope not! I used to do that, and typing was considerably slower than now. I type at around 60 words per minute and I love it.

Touch typing is not only a faster way to type, it also helps you to get a job. On one job application I saw, there was a question asking me if I can type and how many words per minute I can type. 60 words per minute is not that bad...

If you're thinking about it, just do it! Use applications that teach you how to type. You can find many applications for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux that teach you this skill. Mavis Beacon Teaches typing is a popular software program on Windows and Macintosh systems. If on Linux, search in your favorite package manager for a typing program. There are several to choose from.
