A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique

Eh technology will change again, before we see any major changes. I remember reading some fifteen years ago that due to texting on an oldschool mobile phone, our thumbs might evolve in a new way because we all of a sudden used thumbs in a new way. Some scientists predicted we'd started using thumbs for tasks we'd otherwise use our index fingers for.
It could, however, make a social trend for shorter fingernails (primarily on women, I imagine). Just meaning people are more likely to trim their nails shorter.
I know, but it might be a short trend (pardon the pun). It's also not a trend currently supported by my personal anecdotal evidence.
