Kids are Freaks
by Steve Gibson, Mar 24, 2002 8:10am PSTThis story at Reuters has confirmed what I'm sure many of us have suspected for years, anyone under 25 is a mutant. Playing videogames and using cell phones has made these youngsters freakish beyond belief.
New research carried out in nine cities around the world shows that the thumbs of people under the age of 25 have taken over as the hand's most dexterous digit, said The Observer.The change affects those who have grown up with hand-held devices where the thumbs are used for keying in text messages and emails.Stuff like that is just cool/interesting ya know? I like to ponder how humans will evolve over the coming years/centuries. I bet we get sexier.

It shouldn't have annoyed me that much, but it really does. Fucking mutated? Yeah, my DNA modified itself, and I grew a super thumb, of my own accord, and I'm not sterile due to it.

So, while we may be evolving to use our thumbs more efficiently, are we also filling up the world with an unhealthy populace?

This is no more valid than saying people who are literate are mutants compared to people who don't know how to read.
This is just aquired skill.
Now, fapping to goat porn however DOES qualify as mutant.
Oh wait, they would be sCarier...
