The Groupon Guide to: Keyboarding
Although "keyboarding" may sound like the newest extreme sport to hit the skies, it actually refers to the extreme act of typing. Whether you're using a typewriter, word processor, or computer-connected input board, use these tips to type quickly and efficiently:
- First, familiarize yourself with the letters you'll be typing. The human alphabet contains 32 letters (the same as the number of teeth in the human mouth—not a coincidence), but some of the letters are doubles. For instance, the letters p and n may look different, but they sound the same.
- Second, memorize the letters' positions on your keyboard. The letters are placed in random order and are in different locations on every keyboard. Your keyboard may also contain additional buttons, such as a "space" bar, which unlike the space bar in Star Wars is not filled with singing aliens and bounty hunters.
- Finally, place your fingers on "home row" and practice writing using only the letters in this row, as moving your fingers to other areas of the keyboard will cause fatigue and possible finger loss. You'll notice that this guide contains only the 10 letters on home row.
