Where should fingers be placed on the keyboard?

As can be seen in the below picture, your left-hand fingers should be resting over the A, S, D, and F keys and your right-hand fingers should be placed over the J, K, L, and ; keys. These keys are considered the home row keys. Your thumbs should either be in the air or very lightly lying on the space bar key.
