It's Not Too Late to Learn Touch Typing

I have been using a computer for more than twenty-five years. I never cared about how people use the keyboard when typing, until I met my wife and saw how good she was...she didn't even have to look at the keyboard and she was fast. When she told me that she learned it at a very young age, I immediately felt that I was way behind and that maybe it was too late for me to achieve that level.

I continued typing by using only two or three fingers on each hand, keeping an eye on both the keyboard and the screen, like most old people do. Last week, when I was preparing for coding bootcamp, I read about Touch Typing and how each finger is supposed to be used for every key. Then, I started practicing it and realized how easy and efficient the technique is! Although I am still slow, I am getting better and faster each time.
I'm using it now! Si se puede!
