Key Benefits:
Do I need to improve my typing?
Whether you're a "two-finger typist" or are already fairly proficient, improving your typing skills can be extremely beneficial. The bottom line is this: if you type with one or two fingers (hunt-and-peck style) on each hand, the average person can probably manage 25-35 WPM (words per minute). If you learn to touch type, you can increase that speed to 50-100 WPM.
Most of the things we do on a computer involve typing. And the quicker you can type, the quicker you get those tasks (online research, writing essays, book reports, term papers, etc.) done. The quicker you get your typing tasks completed, the more productive you are which lets you:
Spend more time studying for school/classes
Help you get a job or yet, a better paying job
Have more free time to sit back and think of creative ideas
Email faster
Become more efficient communicating with friends on Myspace, Facebook, etc.
Employers: Purchase Mavis Beacon for your employees and boost productivity in your company
