    I grew up with a computer in the 80s and for years i would stare at the keyboard while mentally keeping track of what I was typing.

    I took keyboarding in middle school and learned to touch type but it took years of practice to break the habits I formed as a child.

    Now I’ll be typing something and my husband will walk in so I’ll pause and look over to see what he needs. One time he said “don’t stop on my account” so I started typing again while staring at him.

    I can hold a full conversation while doing this but have to slow down to around 60wpm to avoid transcribing the conversation.
