There must be generation coming which has never used physical keyboard and do not ever want to. Even now, when my home automation needs some adjustment, it easier just to SSH to Emacs than to wake up, put some clothes on and go sitting by the screen. Especially with (global-set-key (kbd "å") 'hippie-expand) .

Wait until they pass 35 and find that getting up and moving about is not just an annoyance but vital to keeping your body away from a state of constant little nagging pains ;)

Shutup son. I am 69. But I cannot type with my thumbs, like people under 30. I need always two hands to use the phone.

I can type with my thumbs but it's far slower than using my left thumb and right index finger. I am almost 50.

However, what does that have to do with 2 handed use? Thumbs typing is also 2 hands. Or you mean typing with 1 thumb? I see people, especially Chinese, writing on their phones with 1 thumb and holding it with the same hand (so 1 hand use); you have that too with swipe keyboards though for western languages. This us definitely not faster (or, for me, nicer) than just typing with 1 thumb and 1 finger.

Curious what other people do... I am on a tetras on a busy street now and wasting what (very) young people do: I see them all typing with 2 hands, two thumbs.

I'm still wishing for T9 to come back... Every generation has its thing. Maybe it's time to try dictation and get past the feelings of silliness ;)

Not sure how that works with a lot of noise and people (subway, busy streets, airplanes etc); it seems to type out complete crap random people around me are shouting. So in reality touchtyping is faster.

Ah yes, outside, busy places, it's been a while :)
