看下面这个分析,用电脑键盘开始最习惯后来才有smart phone的这一代一般是一个手指打字,而很年轻的一代在smart phone时代成长的用两个拇指打字。看来是我老了
When computers hit the mainstream, the older guy in the office would always be sniggered at when bashing away on his
QWERTY keyboard, only using his two index fingers to type. To the amusement of his younger, tech-savvy colleagues, he would almost look Neanderthal next to those who grew up with computers and used all their fingers on the keyboard quickly and fluently.
In offices around the world, after computers entered every part of our lives, it was indicative of how wide the generational gap had become in how people interacted with new, emerging technology.
But nothing stays still. Those young sniggerers, born at the dawn of the tech revolution, are now the ones who look old-fashioned when it comes to using mobile phone keyboards.
With the increasing popularity of touchscreen smartphones, there’s increasing emphasis on ergonomics – and a growing interest in how older and younger users interact with their devices.
Indeed, a recent
experiment I undertook yielded a very revealing observation. Younger users adopt a two-handed approach, using both thumbs to type, while older users cradle their phone in one hand and type with one finger.
