An article on cNet news today reminds us that kids today spend one whale of a lot of time with technology "things" from game controllers to computers to cell phones. All that slamming of thumbs on controllers, rapid pushing of tiny keys when text messaging, and slamming fingers and thumbs on keyboards be people that are not touch typists makes today's kid a poster child for Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI). Many medical practioners are concerned.
Actually, I have to be careful myself. I'm not a touch typist and I tend to hit the keys instead of gently pressing them down. Some days I come home with a wrist tendons that hurt. Think of the cumulative damage a lidetime of such digit slamming could do.
