WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: April 15, 2002 Thumbs up for handheld gadgets (MSNBC) -- "The growing reliance on thumbs — on top of the many game consoles which already require fast thumb action — makes Deborah Quilter, a consultant and author of books on repetitive stress injuries, cringe."
Reader Comments...
Makes her cringe? Is she really shrinking back in fear and cowering? Or is she licking her lips in anticipation of the future? Mmmmm, healthy career. Tasty. Hey, anyone notice John quoted from the second-to-last paragraph in the article? If this is the essence of the article, it's very poorly written. What happened to pyramid style?

About 1/2 of the article is about the *problems" people are having with these keyboards versus the "thumbs up" (good stuff) that is implied by the title of the article. Posted by: John S. Rhodes on April 15, 2002 11:26 AM
John, After reading that article a couple of times, it hit me that the "thumbs up" was supposed to be a pun about using thumbs for typing. That most people wouldn't get it (like Jack, you, and I) just shows that it was bad writing. :) Posted by: MadMan on April 15, 2002 12:42 PM
