No one has yet to address the main point in this article... The fact that it's TOTAL BS. First, when I type on a keyboard, the only thing my thumbs do are press the spacebar. I don't consider that a very good way to dramatically "mutate" their ability. Second, when dialing a phone, I don't use my thumbs. The article's entire point is based upon
"The change affects those who have grown up with hand-held devices where the thumbs are used for keying in text messages and emails. "
It is my believe htat 95% of the under 25 generation doesn't use PDA's, those who do don't use their thumbs, and when people type the thumb rarely moves to other keys except the spacebar.
This article is pure rubbish. It just goes to show you that anyone can be a journalist and pull crap from your ass. Heh.
