Another dream achieved

Just 10 months ago I was dying to get constant average of even 100 wpm and I always dreamed of hitting 120wpm on most of the texts and the dream has actually come true. Now a days I easily hit 120 wpm and sometimes more than that as well :)

Next target 130 wpm average :D that's gonna be fun, it'll surely take more than a year to be achieved, but I am not in any sort of hurry :D

What is touch typing?

Touch typing is typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys. Specifically, a touch typist will know their location on the keyboard through muscle memory. Touch typing typically involves placing the eight fingers in a horizontal row along the middle of the keyboard (the home row) and having them reach for other keys.

On a standard QWERTY keyboard the home row keys are: "asdfjkl;" Most computer keyboards have a raised dot or bar on either the F/J keys and/or the D/K keys (or the keys in the same position, for non-QWERTY keyboards) which enables blind or partially sighted individuals that touch-type to position their fingertips correctly over the home row, and which incidentally helps sighted touch-typists to orient their fingers as well.
