For as long as I can remember I've had a callous on the side of my right middle finger, probably a result of holding a pen or pencil too tight when writing.
Recently I noticed that the callous was gone. I rarely write anymore-- in the sense of using a writing implement, that is. In some ways I write more than ever. I correspond with friends through e-mail or Facebook. I blog. I take notes at meetings. I develop content for web sites and print materials. But I hardly ever use a pen! I do all my writing on the computer.
I don't have callouses (yet) on my finger tips. I don't do a lot of texting on my phone, but I wonder if those who do actually have callouses on their thumbs?
Will my kids have calloused thumbs from constantly texting their friends?
The callous is gone, and I kind of miss it!
