I feel like I used to see a lot of women with super long nails struggling to use their touchscreen phones. I’m sure at least some of them have chosen slightly shorter nails to make it easier.
Nope. The ones I’ve seen use their knuckles, or awkwardly use the pads of their fingers. Saying this as a woman who doesn’t like long nails.
Also a woman who doesn’t like long nails. They creep me out, especially when they start to curl.
The one who use their finger tips, make a very distinct clicking noise too.
Ever gone through a Walmart checkout?
I’ve never seen longer nails than on those cashiers, and they have to press buttons and touch screens all the damn time.
It’s trivial to use a touchscreen with nails of arbitrary length if you’re used to it. You can easily just use the side, where the cuticle is. If you put on acrylics you’ll have some trouble adjusting, but if you let it grow naturally you’ll adjust as they grow
I think its more like a fashion thing. I still see it with a specific type of woman
…is she gonna walk with them and grow 6 feet higher?
The prevelance of touchscreens much rather results in people lacking skills/efficiency/speed when using a regular computer keyboard
I’ve seen nail polish that supposedly allowed them to work with touch screens, kinda like gloves that work with them. I dunno how well it works; I don’t paint my nails (or have long nails to begin with). I just remember seeing it on the shelf while at Walmart and getting shampoo.
Intentionally making contact w your nails sounds awful. Who wants to listen to tap tap tap? How would that even work anyway? The polish isn’t gonna be on the tip, would you have to turn your fingers upside down?
