Can you type without looking? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Courtnee · 01-22-2006, 03:58 PM

I learned a few weeks ago how to do it but I only do it at school. I'm lazy like that.

Superstar · 01-22-2006, 04:01 PM

Yeah, sometimes I do it without any mistakes, other times I can't get a single letter right

Jonathan · 01-22-2006, 04:02 PM

I am doing it at the moment, but it can be tricky. If I am talking on messenger or something, I have more of a chance to mess up. I just use *** and correct myself. It is easier than looking every second.

gilligan fanatic · 01-22-2006, 04:11 PM

Yes I can

Hollow · 01-22-2006, 04:50 PM

i learned how to in the third grade and i can even without using the right fingers on the keys. i usually don't though.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 01-22-2006, 04:55 PM

yeah I pretty much never look ever...it happens when you're on the computer as much as I am

robyrob · 01-22-2006, 05:08 PM

yeah, but I have to constantly force myself to slow down or it gets too painful

EmoJoe · 01-22-2006, 05:41 PM

Polniaczek033 · 01-22-2006, 05:44 PM

yeah i always type without looking.

vienna waits · 01-22-2006, 05:54 PM

I never look at the keys when I'm typing.

Fleet · 01-22-2006, 05:55 PM

Yes, I can. That's how I was taught in typing class in Jr. High (back in 1975).
I never look at the letters when I type posts here, but sometimes I have to look at the numbers because they are farther away than the letters.
I remember typing at 35 wpm in typing class.

I also remember a few guys at school kidding me for taking a typing class. They asked why I would take such a class. I should have said because there will be something called the Internet in 20 or 25 years!

TJL · 01-22-2006, 07:34 PM

I sure can! Heck, I'm doing ti rifht now. Pretty good huh?

Janice · 01-22-2006, 07:52 PM

I type the traditional way of typing...using the correct fingers for each key. I used to type 60 wpm, but I'm sure it's less now. I'm a very good typist.

bandito · 01-22-2006, 07:59 PM

I'm lucky that I can type looking at the keys.

swedeace · 01-22-2006, 08:42 PM

Yes, I can generally type without looking. I do type quickly that my boss and co-workers often call me a "lightening keyboarder!"

I just have some trouble with some of the numbers and characters, especially the ones I don't use often or are hard to reach. Therefore, I sometimes find myself having to hit backspace and re-type some things.
