10-finger typing easy or difficult?

Typing skills using all ten fingers seem to be basically practically ignored by many people, even . genuine office people.

Computers and the Internet are becoming popular in Vietnam, at least in big cities. But strangely, the technique of typing with 10 fingers at the same time, one of the most basic skills of computer users is not given proper attention. Want to know how young people type "fast" keys, just turn around a game-Internet store like Bach Khoa-Hanoi area in the evening. Even the "chat" people or gamers, most of them have to face down the "trigger" keyboard when there is a need to chat in the game, especially there are "cool" chat handlers who only use two fingers to type at a fast speed . no less than ten fingers (of course, unsigned), the fence of each wave (each chat on the screen).

When asked why he typed "pecking" without practicing typing correctly, a very carefree young man answered " because it is not necessary, I type with two fingers so fast ".

Type 10 fingers as "professional".

Of course, not everyone is "impartial" as above. But the word "want" to "do it" is quite difficult, as the complaint on a informatics forum: "I intend to practice typing 10 fingers, but 3 days and nights, but I have not come in yet, sure Because of the older age, the reflexes are not as good as they were when I was young, so please ask me, should you continue to practice? And with the same age as you (21), will the episode still have results? " This concern is shared by many people, such as Uncle Binh, a civil servant said: he is an exception in the agency because of the use of typewriters in the past, so getting used to the computer keyboard is quite fast. Meanwhile, most of his colleagues have to "peck" on the keyboard even though the work requires manual input. I tried the tutorial a few times, but most of them were difficult, slower and . back to the old way.

Practicing the skill of typing ten fingers will bring a lot of benefits, first of all to minimize hand fatigue when using the machine for a long time and significantly increase productivity. But because of not being familiar with computers in a methodical way, or lack of instruction, many computer users in Vietnam do not understand this skill, not only students but also college students! This was confirmed by Ms. Nhung, a middle school teacher in Dong Da district, Hanoi: although the study program did not require, she spent the first lesson to guide the new students. with the computer to type ten fingers properly, as well as the first 15 'each session after that to test and practice. Those who work hard and conscious can type with 10 fingers after only one or two months, especially the number of students who have machines at home or regularly play online games, chat .

Although it is difficult, it is feasible to repair this habit, which mainly depends on the perseverance of the practitioner, as advised by Ms. Lan Huong, the owner of a photocopying shop:

- Practice typing correctly never late (she "corrects mistakes" from 22 years old).

- Should follow the 10 finger training program with the right finger instruction, practice from easy to difficult.

- Do not look at the keyboard from the beginning but look at the screen, always hit the right finger - very important point to increase typing speed later.

- Do not rush to practice, do not be discouraged to give up and return to the old way when the new way of beating is slower than "old stork".

There are currently a lot of English training programs on the Internet like TypingMaster, (you can find the full version of the software store). After getting acquainted with the English accent and Vietnamese accent, you can switch to Vietnamese with accent. According to Ms. Huong's experience, it is recommended to practice Vietnamese accent in Telex style (using letter keys) instead of VNI (using numeric keys) - an advantage for northern computer users. You can practice through games like TypeShark, Typing of the Dead, Typing Tutor, or with young people who are playing online games, chit chat.

Thus, practicing typing ten fingers is never late. The only difficulty here is the impatience, as well as the "correction" of the trainees themselves.
