I am a beautiful nerd. I love my technology, drool over new gadgets and would have two computers if I could afford it. Well, I do own an iPad, that counts at least a little bit, right? I call my laptop Skywalker because it’s powerful and insightful, thanks to Windows 10. Yes, it does outthink me sometimes, too, maybe I should have named it R2D2 instead.
In late 2018 I upgraded to a new iPhone XR and admittedly grieved for the lost home button and fingerprint lock. The face I.D security features and gestures at first made me want to crunch the darned thing under the heel of my slipper but working from home softened my attitude and feet.
Here is a little poem about it.
On the Tip of a Finger
By Ann Chiappetta
Tap.
Flick up.
Flick down.
Double tap.
use a digit
drag it around.
press side button;
“Hello Siri” — why doesn’t she talk?
Slide and lift
Thumbs are best to text.
Swipe up with index finger
Double tap to select.
Tippity-tap tap
Doink doink doink
Try middle finger gesture instead.
Spell Onomatopoeia
Swish, swoosh blunk
Dexterity demands flanges
To execute a pinch or scrub.
“Hi Siri,”
I didn’t say that
Slide and lift
Thumbs are best to text.
Swipe up with index finger
Double tap to select.
