How did you guys learn to type?

[Imaginaerum]

haha I remember runescape I can't believe that game is still around. Now you have to down load it and the  graphics are still just as shitty as ever

No it's still a browser game, the client usually works better. For some reason I've stuck with it all this time and even if I forget about nostalgia... the new one is keen on eradicating all traces of the old game and going down the path of WoW with pay to win and casual garbage. Oh well, I'll never forget the typing lessons.

Im, irc, and forums.

I learned typing on some win xp laptop, but i really started improving with my old microsoft sidewinder and now i have the steelseries 6gv2 which im even faster with. My mother always told me to go to a course to learn 10 fingers, but guess what, im faster than the fucking teacher without it lol

That was probably the stupid "HEY HOWS IT GOIN YOU'RE NEW HERE RIGHT?" page. If you get past that and use the home page then you should be able to find this one

I leaned through use. My family have had computers over the years and I simply learned from experience. I have now reached a good 80 WPM on a standard keyboard and on my phone I have reached around 120 WPM so it kind of varies.

Learned it back then after building my first pc (pentium 2) I wanted to learn about stuffs

 

I remember playing delta force (1st one) online with my dial up.

 

I was asking people how do they lag(because I thought lagging = dodging) they just disappear and appear like teleporting lol.

 

dunno if half the people here have tried that really old game.

Had a typewriter as a kid and a computer at our nursery so I learnt to type when I was old enough to read and write.  By about 5 I could type properly with my limited vocabulary.

[Applepienation]

My writing was slower than typing with the one finger method. I eventually with some lessons each day at school from grades 3-6 I learnt how to touch type.

 

It's taken years, but I can now watch TV, as I am doing now, and touch type perfectly well.

[GloriousPain]

I learned to read by typing SOOOOOOO yeaaaah

[Sors]

Mechanical typewriter, you had to really pound on those keys to get the thing moving.

[NInety]

School.

[ohJey]

chatting on online games

[Recon-UK]

School, but i learnt just by looking at the keyboard.

[xjohnny3589]

Just type the more you do something the better you get

[Quack]

Learned from alot of gaming and IM from when I was smaller.

[nosirrah123]

Just 2 fingers, I just can't go to 10 fingers, I've been doing 2 for too long, and I look sometimes.

 

I had like 3 typing classes in middle and high-school but I never went to all ten.

 

I really don't find it all that hindering, I rarely think fast enough to need to type to keep up with my thoughts. 

 

Maybe I'm dumb

 

Edit: I just tried typing with all ten, and I just can't, my brain rejects it. It makes me makes me type so slowly, I hate it

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

 9 fingers without looking, learned by, well,...Time

[Askew]

MSN messenger.

[flibberdipper]

Typing class back in 7th or 8th grade. Even then, I still looked, but now I don't.

[PhantomChevron]

I had it since I was born.

[killercroc]

its simple, practice makes perfect.

[Night]

Many years of computer-ing. And then a word processing class made it so I can type without having to look at all, ever,

[Buckley]

Playing years of runescape taught me to not look

[seiny]

Just started pressing the buttons and after 10 years+ I can type the way I do today
