Detailed Answer
Touch typing is superior for speed (typically 2–3x faster), accuracy (fewer typos), and ergonomics (reduces neck strain because you don't look down). Hunt-and-peck requires visual searching, which breaks concentration – you lose your place in the source text. Touch typing allows you to watch the screen, read ahead, and correct errors immediately. It also reduces finger fatigue because all ten fingers share the load. In professional settings, hunt-and-peck is considered inefficient and unprofessional. For long documents, emails, or coding, touch typing saves hours daily. The only downside: you must invest 20–40 hours to learn it.
