Genuinely why I miss my blackberry, I could type out a message while looking straight ahead

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

I had t9 on lock back in the day. Write and send a message without having to look at my phone at all. Sure, there was no internet on there, but that tiny Nokia would stay charged for like 5 days and survive a 20 foot drop on cement without a case.

Fun fact: they would NOT survive being dropped into a gallon of polyurethane floor finish :-(

You can still type while not looking on a smartphone.

As a former teacher, this is still extremely obvious.

Let's see if that works with auticirrext and eating burgers.

Almost. Hilariously "autocorrect" didn't auto correct. Hmm.

I want to test this out. Let's see how it goes. Today I went skiing and I have a pet rabbit.

Holy shit. I expected at least one typo

Maybe! I had my eyes closed so didn't see what was happening until I opened them. I kind of want to experiment more.

Swipe keyboards makes typing without looking trivial. It’s also not that hard to do regularly. Now, throw in some symbols and stuff and it’ll likely get harder. But touch typing on a modern smartphone isn’t hard at all. I typed this whole comment with out looking at the keyboard, and only needed to “edit” sections I changed my mind on.

Yeah just because you're bad at it doesn't mean everyone is

Typed without looking intensifies

Don't look at me when you type like that!

People, including me, are just jealous.

I didn't downvote but I'm jealous
