That's pretty impressive (type with your eyes closed).  Is it because of your years of typing experience?

Its pretty easy to type with one's eyes closed after you've learnt the ins and outs of the keyboard ya know......


(yes, I typed that out while blind)

no, I think it's because I looked at the keyboard just before I typed the first letter and it burned an image in my mind for a few seconds.  If you type longer, I think you lose the accuracy as that fades.  If you make a single mistake, yer screwed.

I was actually trying to make a mistake by typing blind, though.  Nuts, eh?

could be that, but after a couple of years of typing you actually get a feel for where the keys are.

as the others, this was typed without looking at the keys. well, I admit, I misspelled "without" first, and I knew I did so I had to see how many keys to remove with backspace, but other than that... it's a ***** if I'd want to learn dvorak now, though.

[EtherShock]

I typed this out with my eyes closed...and in dvorak too! ^_^

Anyway, this opens Pandora's Box for subliminal messages.

So looking at a picture of a naked woman for ten seconds means that you won't pay much attention when, for example, a picture of a teacup appears afterwards? And they spent how much finding this out?

I see.  So that's your secret

Perhaps you should give it a try and see if the result matches the one in the article

i found this article a bit funnier:

It's not really that difficult to type with your eyes closed, you know, once you get the feel of the keyboard in your head (and, admittedly, once you're a total nerd).

I personally don't like typing with my eyes closed, simply because I don't do it very much anyway. It takes my attention off of more... important things

And yes, I just wrote all of that with my eyes closed. And this part too!

Well, the thing is, just because the scientist says that an image of a teacup is a more important thing to look for than a naked woman, doesn't mean that your brain agrees, you have countless generations of genes replying 'bollox'

[aldo_14]

Pff, why watch a bevvy of attractive semi or unclad women in suggestive poses when you can have a nice cup of char?

Too true

[pyro-manic]

I think "duh" sums it up.

[EtherShock]

Imagine if that article was published by an American source Phreak.

*types sentence with eyes closed*

meh, as i've seen porn pop-up ads, i can definitely tell you that porn doesn't make you go blind.

[Charismatic]

Typeing blind is fine. No problem, and its not hard at all. See im doing it now. YAY!

[Cobra]

nah, or else you wouldn't have just 2 grammar errors.
