i think the mobile phone companies should design a software whcich can convert voice to text sms messages

constant sms ing can lead to eye strain( focussing on small screen) as well as thumb injury

ps in olden days rishis used to use thumb & index finger to do chin mudra & do meditation.

Anti Technology Scheme

This has become a trend today.. Whenever a new technology comes up, there are these wild suggestions saying that don't use the technology.

Children have been playing video games for ages now, and young children definitely play more video games than they sms. Howcome this possibility did not turn up earlier?

This theory, whether true or not, God only knows.. BUt it does hamper the people adversely. The moment I read the article, the first feeling I had was a tinge of pain in both my thumbs. But, then I thought, probably if the article has said that my feet should pain if I sms excessively(because I am not concentrating on balancing my feet, and so the part of the brain doing that has started malfunctioning), my feet would pain.

Charles Darwin, I am sure would agree with me.. THe only thing I believe is, that with time, thumbs will become more well adapted for typing( I, for one, am sure they are already fine!!)
