Thumbs up to a great column about the Opposable Thumb.Gene Weingarten’s column, in the WashPost, written entirely on his cell phone:
on the few occasions i do text message, the only concession i make is that i dont use capitals or apostrophes or question marks or hyphens because they take an extra keystroke and when one is typing with ones thumbs one wants to conserve keystrokes. it pains me to realize that mankinds signature anatomical adaptation, the one that distinguishes us from the lowly beasts, has been pressed into service for such a moronic chore. its like using a stradivarius to hammer a nail.
so, texting is stupid. but do you want to know what is stupider. to get this column published, i have to email it to myself every 30 words.
