Recently, a colleague from our network administration department came to install a new router. As she was typing in the configurations, I noticed that she keeps her eyes on the monitor, as a proper typist should, but the problem is that she was making so many mistakes and would have to backspace to correct. At the end of the day, a line that would take me 5 seconds to type (am not a good typist and look at the keyboard almost half of the time) took her almost 20 secs. I don’t know why she insists, but I would prefer if she did her practice on a typing tutor in her free time, instead of trying to impress during production time. I can do about 45 wpm in my own style, and it has not made me a lesser pro. What do you think about typing ability in THE FIELD? P.S. If there is a thread about this already, point me to it. Thanks.
