Keyboard Letters - Do you memorize these?

airasheila, I'm a college student and none of my teachers has ever ask or made us memorize the key board. That is interesting, you must be a very fast typist now. When I was younger, I know my computer teacher makes us use TYPE TO LEARN program. This is to teach us how to type faster and memorize. A lot of students didn't take this seriously. Sadly I am one of them. My AVERAGE WPM is 30-40. Kinda sad to be honest.

i really didnt have any formal training on typing so i'm not one of those people who memorize the keyboard and no need to look at it. i still look at the keyboard to type though i kinda know where each letters are. i also type a little faster than those who memorize them, hehehe. cheers and happy myLotting!

I Dont remmeber the keyboard keys but yes when typing the hand movement is without noticing the keys , that si the image is built up in brain but not memorized

I can memorize the whole keyboard. I don't even have to look at the keyboard to type and never miss any words. I can type and watch TV at the same time too and not make any mistakes. I've been typing for 11 yrs and taken many courses in typing and I can now type 200 words a min. I beat my school record. It's a talent of mine and I'm keeping it til the day I die. It helps me too because I work in the business field and it's nice I can type and be good at it. I also help others out when needed and that's my passion!

In typing quite fast.... But not memorized all the letters little more working with the keyboard

i got familiar with my keyborar just typing and trying to type faster and faster. u have practiced a lot so far. every computer keyboard has a little mark on F and J key's surface. what i naturaly tend to do is placing my index fingers on them. and no matter if theres light in the place or not, or if i am just staring at the screen ... by placing my fingers there i just know how to move my fingers so as ti find the rest.

This is a skill that I'm really pleased to admit I have! During my teenage years I attended a Business Administration college and it was here that I learnt how to touch-type! I know and remember exactly where the letters are on the keyboard and when I am typing I use all of my fingers! This is a good skill to have as it means that you can type fast and you don't have to constantly be looking down at the keyboard. I notice some people only use two fingers and eventually their typing speed gets faster as they become so used to the method. It's nice to be able to type though as it means that you can get a lot more work done in a much shorter time frame. I'm really grateful that I have this skill and it certainly looks impressive when you are sitting at the keyboard doing your thing as it were! Andrew

Your professor was wrong. When you're typing, it sticks to your subconscious mind the positions of the letters in the keyboard. It's like riding a bicycle. After some time, you won't mind where you lean. All you'll mind is where you're going.

Hi, I don't know if you call this a form of remembering. But I use a special technique called touch typing. I had to practice for a few weeks at a stretch. Then it became a permanent asset. I mean I don't have to type while looking at the keyboard. I don't know if I remember the keys at all. It just comes automatically. I type faster than I write or sometimes even faster than I speak. No body taught me. I kinda taught myself. But I feel quite comfortable with this while chatting or writing my article. It feels like my fingers move along with the pronunciation. Thanks. God bless you

I never took my typing class seriously that I didn't know the importance if it until i get to the point of looking for job where some or I'd say most of the companies require their applicant to have at least 40wpm and touch typing or memorizing the keyboard letter are essential when you get to follow a script. Good thing i passed the internet typing exam with a minimum score. After which i practiced online touch typing and now i can type as if i memorized my keyboard with proper fingers on right letters.

Few years back I tried to learn a systematic typing but left in between because I did not like it. I do not memorize keyboard letters and type like I am killing some insect on keyboard using my fingers but Itype fast. If I try to memorize and then type it would be slow so I do it my way.

No I don't... It's just time and frequency that made me fast on using keyboards. Even now, I don't memorized the computer keyboard though my hands are pointing to where it should be while I'm typing.

yup i memorize it since i was in high school because our high school teacher told us to memorize it because we are going to have a test on the next morning about it.. the next day on the day of the exam.. she told us to use our hankerchief to blindfold ourselves.. she would rome around and tell us what to type. in my case i she said to type my name.. hehe that is a very easy task.. and i got perfect

I can memorized the keyboard. I learn type on keyboard durring my scolling period. At this time I am working in a Telecomunication Company and maximum time I work in Excel. So at this time I have memorized keyboard and i type faster when I worked on Excel. But In word or Pagemaker I am not familier.

I have the keyboard memorized, which is a good thing, since I use an iPod, and need to type with one finger.

I will never forget learning the keyboard keys in high school! I had a typing/basic computer class sometime in my junior high years. It was tough to catch on at first, I remember. But now I've been typing with the keys memorized for years! I would consider myself a pretty darn fast typer too since I know all of the keys. I can't imagine my life without having memorized this simple thing since I use the computer a lot!

I know the arrangement of the keyboard because i had a class were we had to type without looking at the key board. It does help though. But i Dont think thta is important to memorize, everybody has there own way to type fast.

Well, my prof was not so strict about memorizing the keyboard buttons. What we had was a typind tutorial software which was so obsolete.

ya you are correct in this first when i joined in mylot first it is so difficult for me to type and now it is so easy and i am fast in typing that is typing is not the way we memorize with the thing but it is about the way we have a practice with the thing so that it is used to and get trained with and there are a better to know a lot of things we ahve to go with life...there are a better..we have to get practized and get success..have fun..

i remember we got typing lessons during elementary if im not mistaken around 4th grade.. but i learned how to type faster from a typing dvd... dont laugh.. it is true... at least i can type many words per minute... i forgot how many words... and i can type without looking at the keyboard... good day mylotters or myloters! :)
