A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I feel like I used to see a lot of women with super long nails struggling to use their touchscreen phones. I'm sure at least some of them have chosen slightly shorter nails to make it easier.

The prevelance of touchscreens much rather results in people lacking skills/efficiency/speed when using a regular computer keyboard

Ironically, I can almost type as fast on my phone (102 WPM PB) as I can on most keyboards (110 WPM PB), and that's with my weird improper method of touch typing. These scores are for the 15 second word test on MonkeyType.

But I would assume you're used to using a 'manual' keyboard whereas if you only grew up on touchscreens its probably more difficult to get familiar to.

Perhaps, but I sucked at touch typing when I was younger.
