] A British researcher of cyber culture, Sadie Plant, found
] that teenagers and young adults throughout the world are
] becoming so adept at using their thumbs for messaging,
] they have started to use them for ringing doorbells and
] pointing. Japanese teenagers are sometimes called "the
] thumb generation" because of their heavy-duty messaging.
] Plant has said that teens use their thumbs more than
] index fingers; making them faster and more muscled.
