unexpected benefit

I am old person in tech years, and skipped almost the entire initial texting wave. (Having to tap the key multiple times for different letters… AGGHH.) I was really hoping tech would just improve enough that I’d never have to get good at that, which is a strategy that sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t, but in this case seems to have gone fine.

Because it’s much easier on the screen keyboard! But I’m still very slow, because I don’t actually text that much. I joke that this is because I have no texting friends, which is sort of true, but mostly my job means I’m at a computer almost all day, and typing is easier anyway (and looks more like I’m working), so email and slack pretty much meet all my daily written communication needs.

BUT! I’ve been using the tinycards app for language practice, and it turns out it’s surprisingly helpful for getting better at phone-screen typing. (Much more forgiving than duolingo when you spell things wrong, too!)
