In olden times, long ago and far away, before the computer walked among us, there was something along the lines of a keyboard, though not nearly as easy or fun to use, called a typewriter. Some of us learned to type using what was called the "touch system," or "home row method," also fondly referred to as "QWERTY." The advantage of this method was that you didn't have to look at the typewriter keys as you typed, therefore could type much faster than you could otherwise. Then there were those that never bothered to learn this method, employing instead a more primitive method called "hunt and peck" which required that you watch the keys pretty much constantly and, yes, as the name implies, hunt for each letter the power of which you wish to invoke, then when you find it, strike or "peck" it with the index finger closest to it. Primitive, slow, but otherwise just as effective. It also got the job done.
So my question is:
Are you hunting and pecking still or do you QWERTY now?
