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.
