Having Long Thumbs Makes it Harder to Text

A study out of Denmark found that if you have really long thumbs, you might be worse at texting than the average person. Researchers tracked how fast people could hit targets on a smartphone, and how many mistakes they made and they found that how fat your thumbs are doesn’t matter much but, people with lengthy thumbs tend to be worse at it. It matters most when you’re trying to touch something at the bottom of the screen and buying a bigger phone might not fix it. The study found it won’t necessarily solve anything, because how we hold our phones plays a big part.
