My new granddaughter - not yet a week old – definitely has smartphone thumbs.
Of course, a few years from now - I am convinced – babies will be BORN clutching a smartphone or similar device in their little hands. Then a grandparent’s question will no longer be “what’s his/her name,” but “what model i-something is it?”
Also, I believe, there will be a new, mandatory, infant-dexterity-test coming soon, such as “does he/she have adequate thumb dexterity” or something of that kind.
Of course, that’s all just temporary, because the next generation (of smartphones, tablets and the like) will work strictly by verbal commands. The generation beyond that is said to be able to operate by simply THINKING THE COMMAND.
Regardless of the smartphone technology in vogue, new granddaughters are just GRAND!
