Many standardized tests are now administered on computers and touch typing is an essential skill for navigating the digital interface, accessing resources, and responding to questions. Without touch typing skills, students may find it challenging to use the testing software effectively.
By using all your fingers and developing muscle memory, you can type much faster than if you only use a few fingers or hunt and peck. Increased speed means enhanced productivity, time savings… you get the picture.
Touch typists tend to make fewer typing errors because they are less likely to hit the wrong keys. This can be especially important for tasks that require precision, such as data entry or coding.
Touch typing encourages proper hand and finger positioning, which can reduce strain and the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSI) like carpal tunnel syndrome and promotes a more ergonomic typing posture.
Once you’ve mastered touch typing, you can comfortably use a variety of keyboard layouts, including QWERTY, AZERTY, and Dvorak, without having to relearn where the keys are located.
Touch typing is a skill that you can carry with you throughout your life. It’s not tied to a specific job or industry, making it a valuable and enduring skill, not to mention enabling more fun when chatting, gaming, and programming.
