Walking in circles when using the telephone is really common. I wonder whether it is related?

The Navajo word for "cellphone" translates to "the thing you spin around with".

I think motor activity helps us pump thoughts through our brain.

I was skeptical about the Navajo claim, but you're totally right. "Bił Nijoobałí" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzwupgNm0GI
Or a rotary telephone?
So would people like a mobile keyboard, or can they get the thoughts pumping and then sit down to write?
