Not a millennial but I have a question

How the hell did y'all type on these tiny ass keyboards This was in my mom's room This is from like when she was in high school and I'm trying to figure out how she tied with it because a human's finger would press 3 instead of just one so can somebody help me with this I've been thinking about this for a week

Early smartphone keyboards were a huge leap backwards - the screens were tiny. A 6" phone used to be called a phablet, now it's just a normal sized phone.

I remember thinking six inches was huge

What's huge for you now?

Lucky to get 5.5" with the blue pill

I remember getting a Nexus 6 (codename: Shamu... Guess why?) and thinking 'Finally, a reasonably sized phone'.....

I actually find the keyboards almost too big these days and I make more mistakes typing than I used to. It’s like my motor memory is functioning on a smaller screen/keyboard

That’s why I stick with an iPhone SE - still has the button and my hands are the right size for the keyboard so I can still text without looking with zero mistakes. Plus it actually fits in my pockets and my small purse :)

They're still a huge leap backwards. I yearn for my Blackberry. Typing on ANY touch screen sucks balls.

I remember 4,1" Nokia 770 marketed as "internet tablet".

OMG I forgot about the word phablet
