Basics
Definition of Touch TypingFinland is a good country for fishing. There are ample bodies of water; two gulfs, the Baltic Sea, about a hundred rivers, and tens of thousands of lakes. The waters there are still clean, although eutrophication in the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea is becoming a cause for concern. Many types of fishing are practical in Finland, from angling for roach to fly-fishing for salmon. Crowding is no problem, as the country is sparsely populated. As the fish stocks are quite ample, too, it is not surprising that more and more travelling fishermen are heading for Finland. Fishing through the ice is the most popular form of winter fishing. The Fishing Act reform made ice fishing a public right, removing the need for a permit. The few restrictions that do exist concern certain individual sport fishing areas, rapids, fast-flow areas and protected water areas containing salmon and whitefish, the 50-metre protective zones around fixed nets and ice roads, and areas around private homes. Increasing numbers of travelling fishermen and women will hopefully start taking advantage of the superb opportunities for ice fishing that are on offer in Finland during the winter. Ice fishing for perch, pike perch, pike and burbot is possible all along the Baltic coastline (Gulf of Finland, Archipelago Sea, Turku Archipelago and Gulf of Bothnia). Further inland, there are plenty of ponds, lakes and waterways that are suited to ice fishing. The local catch includes perch, roach, pike, pike perch, burbot, whitefish, trout, and even grayling. The Lapland fells are a world apart. There, not only large-sized perch, grayling, whitefish and trout can be caught, but the elusive arctic charr can sometimes be enticed as well.

What is touch typing?
Touch typing is a skill that uses muscle memory for identification of keys on the keyboard without the aid of vision.
Why do we learn touch typing?
Touch typing allows you to use all ten fingers in a rapid sequential order and thus enables a very high-speed data communications.
Touch typing has many other advantages that we will look at next.
Advantages
A high degree of accuracy, readability and clarity of written texts.
The higher speed of data entry than other methods.
The possibility of learning new spelling of foreign or technical terms by using the natural patterns of pressing letters on the keyboard.
Reduces the physical effort in terms of physical strain and concentration that we use for typing.
Makes it easier to edit text.
We do not need such a high ability of visual perception, it is not necessary to constantly look at the keyboard.
Hand writing is more demanding than simply pressing a key on the keyboard.
We can edit texts later on compared to hand written and other content.
We can concentrate on the content quality visible on the screen instead of concentrating on the keyboard.
At the end of the day we are less exhausted and more productive.
