Thumbs

I'm writing this on my phone because...mmm. I guess I have dexterous thumbs and I feel guilty about the half written entry that had been sitting on my computer for the past week. I figured that whilst waiting to start work I could write something as opposed to playing some addictive game on my phone or reading the song of ice and fire (that's game of thrones in novel form for those that prefer televisual storytelling.)

The great benefit I see of phone blogging is the same reason why SMS is becoming less beneficial.

Auto correct.

As you may have read in a previous post, I'm not the greatest touch typer, however I have quite nimble thumbs thanks to an early introduction to the sega master system and successive keypad less phones. I can type and it guess what I'm about to say, it's like a conversation with my mother though less infuriating.

I'm thumbing my way through this entry whilst not actually watching what I'm doing, hence why auto correct is advantageous. I can write big words such as advantageous and it does all the thinking for me. I could mash the keypad and it would present me with the correct word. 

I wonder if I gave 1000 iPhones to 1000 monkies if they could produce the works of Shakespeare as a coherent series of messages?

Most likely they would end up playing candy crash and beat my score.

I better end this entry and get playing, god forbid a monkey should beat me.
