They don't now do anything like as much hand writing as we had to do at
school, the world runs on keyboard entries now. From my point of view, I
am much happier on a keyboard, than with a pen - I no longer get the
cramps and it is much more legible lol .


How about mouse/trackpads ?

sudden thought: I wonder if Android/iOS can be set up for lefties ?
Currently it seems to be set up for holding the phone in the left hand,
and using the right to tap.

Sounds irrelevant, until you realise that cover-cases are handed too ...


When I use a cover-case (eg on my wife's phone) I fold the cover back under
the phone and then hold the phone in my left hand while using my right index
finger (not my thumb!!!!!!!!!) to select icons or type at the on-screen
keyboard. I'd expect a leftie to do exactly the same, though probably with
opposite hands.
