Monitor Placement
              Position your monitor directly in front of you at eye level. This helps reduce neck strain and eye fatigue. Adjust
              the monitor distance so that you can read text comfortably without leaning forward. The distance between
              the screen and the user should be adjusted based on the screen size. For a 17-inch screen, maintain an
              approximate distance of 60–65 cm.

              Mouse and Keyboard Placement

              Proper placement of the mouse and keyboard is essential for comfortable and efficient computer use. Position
              the keyboard directly in front of you, ensuring it is centered with your body. Place the mouse within easy
              reach, ideally next to the keyboard on the same surface. This setup helps reduce strain and allows for smooth
              transitions between typing and using the mouse. Make sure your wrists are straight, and your elbows are
              relaxed at about a 90-degree angle for a comfortable working posture.
              Chair and Table Placement

              Ensure your computer chair and table are set at the right height for comfort and efficiency. The chair should
              offer good lower back support, and keep vibrating devices like printers on separate surfaces. Your computer
              table  should  provide  enough  legroom.  These  ergonomic  adjustments  promote  natural  and  comfortable
              typing, reducing fatigue and enhancing your overall efficiency while working on the computer.


              Placement of Matter to be Typed

              Position the material you are typing on a Copy Holder with a sloping surface, preferably to the left or right
              side of the keyboard. This placement ensures comfortable and efficient typing, enhancing productivity and
              reducing discomfort during extended computer use.
                POSITIONING OF FINGERS ON THE KEYBOARD

              In today’s digital age, mastering keyboard skills is crucial, much like learning to use a pen or pencil. It involves
              gaining the necessary knowledge and techniques to operate the keyboard efficiently, starting with how you
              position your fingers.
              Using the Home Row Approach, also known as the Horizontal Approach, is fundamental for effective typing. This
              method requires placing all eight fingers of both hands on the home keys in the middle row of the keyboard. Each
              finger is trained to move accurately to other keys and return immediately to its home position after typing. The
              thumb of the right hand is used for pressing the Space Bar, which helps maintain a steady rhythm while typing.

              Practicing this method will improve your typing speed and
              accuracy, making it easier to handle various tasks on a computer
              confidently and efficiently. Learning these skills ensures you
              can navigate digital tools effectively and communicate clearly
              in today’s tech-driven world.

              Allocation of Keys to Fingers

              Mastering keyboarding starts by learning where your fingers should naturally rest on the Home Row keys.
              These keys are in the middle of the keyboard. From there, you practice moving your fingers to the Upper Row,
              Bottom Row, and Number Row, each with their own set of keys. This helps you type quickly and accurately. By
              practicing regularly, you’ll get faster and make fewer mistakes. Starting with the Home Row and progressing
              through the other rows helps you build confidence in using the keyboard effectively.
