could you type

Yep, I could. Learned in high school......... You're never too old to learn something new. No wait. Scratch that. I'M too old to learn to text with my thumbs like the teenagers do. LOL

Before I had gotten my first computer I already knew how to type but I was not fast at it. I had always had computer classes in school. After a while that I had owned my first computer I got extremely fast at typing and I was happier with that instead of being so slow, it just takes time and practice. happy mylotting...

i never knew how to type till i got a computer,i am now not exactly but i think i am not to bad and i hope to fly one day!!

I could type a little bit but I was a little bit slow at it. I can type faster now but still look at the keys.

I have taken up typing class during my finishing course. Typing to me is no problem and I type with 'blind' touch and does not need to look at the keyboard. Being in mylot everyday has improved my typing speed.

Ok,OK. Don´t fly to see me!!! I won´t make you I have always typed with two or three fingers which is ok because that´s as fast as my thoughts can go. I learned this 2 finger typing with the old typewriters and now my keyboard is so old that is as bad as the old gadgets were. And stop calling yourself old woman, gal! Hug

As one antique to another (lol) I learned on a manual blind typewriter a long, long time ago. A blind typewriter is one with no letters on the keys. I graduated to an electric typewriter. I got up to 90 correct words per minute. I'm probably down to about 30 now.

no. i couldn't type before computer days. infact, i used to wonder how people typed so fast without even looking at the keyboard. but i got an opportunity to learn medical transcription where we had to learn typing via typing tutor software. now i am considered to be an expert.

I never knew typing befor I got my computer. In fact the whole of the first year of my owning a computer, I didn't know typing as the only thing that i did with the computer was playing games. But later as I got onto more serious things with studies and all, I developed typing and my typing speeds are incredible, I believe. I have not g one to any classes, but it's great to learn typing at home. bourne

I had an electric typewriter before my computer so I already had a good idea how to type. I have gotten a lot better at it since my computer though...I spend a lot more time on it than my old typewriter..lol.

Yes. I can type before I get my computer. In junior high school, we had type course and were taught how to type on type machines.( Or shall I call it this way? I am not sure ,hehe...) By the way , I have achieved the 1st prize in our grade in the type contest at the end of that term. I should be more lowkey , sorry...

Hello, I actully led how to type on a typewritter, but nothing is like typing on a compuet, they keys are so much different, with computers you dont have to use much pressure at all to type, but with a typewritter you have to push a little harder, well atleast you had to push a little harder on the keys with the old typewritter I had. I have to say even after all that time , I'm still learning how to type. Happy My Lotting!

Hello antiquelady. Yes I can type...with all my fingers...and you can learn it also...when you finally learned, it's like your playing piano in your keyboard lol. And even type while talking to someone..It's just more on memorizing the letters like which letters are on which fingers and practice helps alot. I remember in my typing class before we are to type all our teacher has been dictating and we are blind folded. It seems impossible for me to learn before and when i did..i really can't believe it at first...it's like an achievement for me :D and every time i want to learn something that once again seems hard and impossible to learn, i remind myself of my experience in learning typing...and it sure helps. There are also online games you can play to practice your typing skills. Happy typing :) Bless you more.

yes i used a typewriter back then. lol

I was typing in the stone age, banging away on a Remington Portable, which is an Oxymoron, them suckers weighed 25 pounds and were about as portable as two pigs. They didn't use electricity, and they skipped unless you had a very deft touch on them sticky keys. * Then, I had use of an IBM Selectric. Those things were sweet, and you can change script by inserting different balls into them. They could be hooked up to early computers, making printers of a sort. * Of course, then came the computer. Now that is the utter sweet of sweet.

Yes, I could type before I got a computer. I took typing lessons when I was in school. I did have to get used to typing on a keyboard, it was somewhat different from typing on a typewriter. I got the hang of it and all the memories come flying back to me. I have an uncle that types with two fingers and he can fly too. It tickles me to see him type. If I try to type like that I can't find the letters fast. Doing the week when I am babysitting I will hold the baby and try to type with one finger and it takes a long time because I can't find the letters fast enough. I have to type with my fingers on the home keys to find my letters.

I had a lot of practice doing my term papers in high school and thesis in college and now i do a lot of typing in my work all with a worn out manual typewriter. Me and my husband bought our pc three years ago to make things easier for us because we have the same jobs which involve a lot of paperworks. I could use most of my fingers but i have to look at the keys while typing because i just don't type the right way. I have self taught the wrong way, what i thought was the easiest way for me then and it's now hard for me to start anew. I can't just debrief myself from what i have been doing for the past twenty eight years and try to start my ABC's from scratch. Anyway i am not in a contest when typing so i just type away the way i am comfortable doing. What's important for me is to present a neat and readable work, so here i am typing to my heart's content! Hello Ma'am jo! Nice to talk with you again!

Antiquelady, I was just like you when I got my first computer I didnt know a thing about a computer or how to type but it took me a while to learn about a computer and how it works. I even typed slow as a turtle. But all that changed after being around one so much .

hi antiquelady, well computers for me is like a toy, keep messing around with it, eventually i became a computer technician for one of you internet service providers in the US,

Way back when i was in highschool, it was a requirement to to learn how to type using those oversized typewriters with the really hard keys, we were made to memorize the keyboard and they went as far as giving out practical tests to see how well weve drilled it into our brains. I used to hate it a lot but when computers started becoming popular specially with the internet in it was really useful, i was in a way thankful for that highschool class :)
