Is it hereditary?



Oyibo kids dey always type very fast. Me wey don dey use PC everyday and type for some time now still dey stutter and look at my keyboard. Abi na film trick? Na only me observe that thing?

Na ur hereditary boda, I can type a whole pages within a twinkle of a eye with looking at my keyboard

QWERTY is used worldwide but not universally. The original reason for jumbling up letters is no longer needed as most people've replaced typewriter use with word processors.
Most keyboard configurations for speed now put the most used letters in the middle row for quicker access and memorization. It is proven that this arrangement would speed a casual user to near professional qwerty level.

This is informative

You're welcome

Read up a lot of documents on why you should touch-type and the benefits of touch-typing. Download pictures of which hands press which keys on a keyboard and force yourself to always look at the screen when typing.
How you start is around a week it would take three guesses to press the right key without looking but eventually they'd start reducing to one or two at most. You'd then start learning key combos and shortcuts unconsciously. By the first month to month and a half you'd get accustomed to most keys you use regularly and from there your speed starts improving to your old hunt and peck speed.

Trust me, I learned all this on my own. Any one can do it.

Another word of advice: The backspace key is your best friend - map its location because of your first-time heavy error rate. With time, practice and dedication you'd find yourself pressing it less.

MY KEYBOARD IS AZERTY

Hmm.. This is Educating

Just remember to give me a shout out when you start getting proficient at it. Four years later and I'm still grateful to my friend who mentioned it.
