1. Typing Tips for Beginners
If you are new to typing on a keyboard, you have much to learn. You may just be new to keyboards, or
you may be new to computers entirely.
Either way, you have a lot to learn. But don’t worry, because you can definitely learn what there is to
know.
Importance of Computer Skills
First, it is good to realize the importance of being able to type well and use a computer. Many people
don’t think there is very much to learn about keyboarding.
They think that all you have to do is start typing, and you’ll be
good at it. However, anyone who types as part of their job
knows that it takes a lot of time to get good at typing.
They also know that there are specific techniques you need to
use while you type so you can make sure you’re doing it the
right way. Here are a few tips that can help you type the right
way.
Proper Technique
First, you will want to put your feet flat on the floor. You will then want to make your back straight.
These things may not make sense within the context of typing. However, if you are typing at a desk for a
long time every day, you will start to experience back pain if you are not sitting up straight.
Back pain is an unpleasant thing to experience, so you
will want to do everything you can to avoid
experiencing it. The scary thing about back pain is that
once you’ve experienced it, you are more likely to keep
experiencing it.
So the best way to avoid back pain is to just prevent it
as much as and for as long as you can. The next thing
you will want to do is rest your arms by your sides and
put your hands in your lap.
Then you should lift your hands onto your keyboard. If your arms are no longer at your sides, then the
keyboard is too far away from you.
You can adjust your chair if you are too close or too far away from the keyboard and your computer. The
key with your hand placement is to make sure your wrists aren’t bent.
2. If you type for a long period of time with bent wrists, you could very easily come down with carpal
tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves an aching pain, tenseness, and soreness in the wrists
and hands.
Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel is also an unpleasant thing to experience, so you will want to make sure that your wrists
are straight when you’re typing. When you learn to type, it is very important that you learn to type
without looking at the keys.
If you have to look at the keys when you type, it could greatly slow you down. If you want to become
more knowledgeable about computers in general, you should consider taking a few Microsoft courses in
Kuwait.
Microsoft courses in Kuwait will help you learn how to use Microsoft Word. While taking these courses,
you can practice your keyboarding skills so that you know how well you are doing with your computer
and keyboarding skills.
