    Default Poll; Do you look at the keyboard or the screen when typing

    When I began fooling with computers and the web ten years ago I would look at the keyboard and 'hunt and peck' to type. I did this for probably six or seven years until one fine day I decided to try and use more fingers and look at the screen instead of the keyboard.

    It was a fairly short time before I found it easier to type while watching the screen and watching the keyboard became more of a hassle. Now I am a confirmed screen watcher when typing.

    My latest exercise is to look at the wall while typing. and see if I have made any mistakes. I am getting to the point where I don't need to watch anything and I can still get the words on the page sans mistakes. So the question is, do you look at the keyboard, the screen or nothing in particular ? BTW, I didn't use any method to learn to type and though I don't do it 'correctly' I get by pretty well.

    EDIT; You can pick more than one option in the poll.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
