thumb culture

    0.02 sec.

thumb culture

Refers to using both thumbs and not the fingers to enter data and press buttons on handheld electronic devices. The BlackBerry's tiny keyboard helped create the thumb culture, and other devices followed. People have become quite adept at entering data using only the thumbs. See BlackBerry, Nintendo thumb and mylo.

The Thumbs Do the Typing
It is truly amazing how fast some people can type with their thumbs after they have had some practice. The BlackBerry popularized the thumb keyboard.
