Touch-typing is a way of typing using all one's fingers, without looking at the keys on the keyboard. At school you are still doing most or you work with pen or pencil on paper, but computers are everywhere and many of the tasks that you are performing with a pen on a pad of paper now, you'll be doing on a computer, laptop or tablet in the future. You are already sending e-mails, blogging, writing reports using a computer and preparing electronic presentations.
Learning to touch type is a great skill that will save you a tremendous amount of time in future.
