I prefer to look at the monitor at the words I'm typing, then looking at the keyboard while I'm typing. I think that for people who aren't strong touch-typers, they may not realize what the advantages are. When I'm thinking of something and trying to type it out, there's no cognitive overhead, so I can use 100% of my brain power for whatever I'm thinking about. When I've thought of something I want to type, I can type it out really quickly before I lose the thought, and can quickly get it all typed out and go back to thinking. fwiw, I made 5 typos in this comment.
