Thumb Typing


My daffodils started blooming last week, it was a happy day!

So my daughter taught me to type on my smart phone using only my thumbs, just like young people do!  It's kind of neat and now I am hip!  The other thing older people do is hold the phone far away so they can see better, that's more my husband, in addition to one-finger typing.  So are you hip with your thumbs?

  1. Good for you! My thumbs and fingers have too much rheumatism to be hip in typing! Have a good new week. Hugs, Valerie

  3. My son saw me typing with one finger last year and he converted me. I now use my thumbs too even though it's not always easy with my trigger thumb.

  4. I hate typing with my thumbs on my phone because they're just too big. I've never been able to type accurately on one. I'm not as bad as my dad though, who still doesn't think much of his smartphone and probably still regrets letting me push it on him.

  5. I do my best, but my thumbs are fat. Thank goodness for auto-correct!

  7. Nope...I don't own a smart phone/cell phone! I hate machines that are smarter than me :)

  8. Lovely signs of spring with those daffodils.

    Yes, I am proud to say that I'm hip with my smartphone when I'm texting. And I don't even hold my phone far away either...because I wear reading glasses! LOL

  9. No. I am totally unhip because I don't use my fingers at all. To protect my fingernails, I always use a cell phone stylus, even when tossing pokeballs at pokemon.

  10. I'm pretty fast with my one-finger typing. I use my iPhone for everything, even writing some of my blog posts on it. Having been a typing teacher for so many years, and a typist for decades before that, I can fly over a regular keyboard. I'm definitely slower with the small keyboard but I'm faster than lots of people.

  11. What beautiful daffodils, how lovely that they are blooming in your garden! I almost never text, so I am very unhip... I usually call people back or email, some people are very fast text senders, but I am not one of those people...

  15. I've only ever used my thumbs. Takes too long the other way.

    Lovely flower. We're having a proper spring here and we haven't have that in years. Years I say, years.
