Can you touch type?

Yes I can. I was taught on an old type writer at school. It was the best skill I ever learnt!

No, but I can type quite fast. I just have to keep my eye on the keyboard.

No, but I have tried those touch typing games with very little success. I think I should put that on this year's goal! ;)

Yes. It's probably the most useful thing I learned in high school.

by Jennifer Muirhead

Yes. I am so glad I learnt it in high school!

by Happy Mom

I wish!...lol

Never did understand how people do it.
I type fast, but just not that talented.

by jonaja

Yes. I learned when I was nine. Had a program on my computer and it was fun and easy. Nowadays I type much faster than I could write.

Yes. I learn't with Typequick via a scholarship in year 12 to learn at a private collage 2 hours a week, one night a week in the evenings.

by Justine Crowley

Yes I can. I learnt when I was in a secretarial college in my late teens.

by Ivana Katz

yes. We got rapped over the knuckles with a ruler if we peeked a look. Ah they were the good old days :-)

Yes. I think touch typing should be taught once children have mastered writing correctly, since so many will use computers more than a pen and paper.

I learned on software while I was training as a computer programmer. Don't recall the software now but here is a great FREE website that will teach you.

Touch typing is well worth the perserverance.

Yes I can, learnt at Business college in 1964, can't type quite as quickly as I used to but still not too bad. One of the best things I learnt, along with shorthand. Yes I am over 60

I'm just old enough that we learned to touch type on an actually typewriter at High School. I then attended business school where we also had to learn to touch type very fast. I worked in clerical and having a good typing speed used to a key factor in getting a job. I have been touch typing for over 30 years now.

Yes, I learnt to touch type in high school in 1957-58. Since purchasing my first computer in 2000, my typing speed has picked up and is every bit as fast as it was back then.

by sunde

No, but I should learn as I spend so much time online.

by Carolyn Hopping

Learnt at School for Grades IX & X, on a 'Royal' Manual Typewriter. It was #28 in the Typing Room, & I used it for the two years'.

Yes, can touch type, & when Electric Typewriters' came into being, then Computer Keyboards', I was a very fast touch-typiste!

My daughter had not seen me type before, but when she did, commented how fast I was! I used a computer at work from Jan'74 to Jun'13.

by donjo

Yes - was taught at high school many years ago. Even got a certificate for 100 wpm on a manual typewriter. Stood me in very good stead, along with shorthand, in the job market throughout my career.
