Ending the righty Hegemony of Smartphones

…or Soon the Southpaw Revolution Will Come!

Lifehacker has a post about switching to a RTL (right-to-Left) orientation which should make using one’s smartphone easier with the Left hand. Less strain to reach when using your Left hand.

If you’re like most people, you use your right hand on your phone. And that’s fine. Because you’re probably one of those people. The right-handed. But if you’re a Lefty, you probably use your phone in your right-hand as well. You’ve probably trained your right hand to make those sorts of movements as quickly and efficiently as possible. Because that’s the world we inhabit. A right-handed world. I even the play guitar right-handed because a Left-Handed guitar would’ve been more expensive to purchase.

Switching to a RTL orientation is actually a little weird so far. It’ll take some retraining because I’m so used to the right-handed-centric orientation. But it’s worth it. Because LEFT.
