How can you become more proficient in keyboarding? 

If you are in a hurry, you won't have to even look at the keyboard. If you just don't want to look at the keyboard, you don't have to. Most of the times it is better to look at the screen than to look at the keyboard to check if you misspell or type what you don't want to type. I think I would rather look at the keyboard because I don't really to the keys by memoery yet.
