Technology for left, is there?

06/08/2015



Have you wondered if really all the technologies that have come to light are used for both right and left-handed? The answer may surprise you: The vast majority have been uniquely designed for right.

A clear example is what happened in 2010 with the launch of iPhone 4, when many were unable to use it due to the fact that the left hand covering the antenna and cut coverage to make calls or use the Internet. Or in 2014 when the company on the block again left out of the market community with his left foot Apple Watch, only functional for right.

Is a long list of other technologies that have been a problem for those who are unskilled: the mouse and keyboards, video cameras and photography, from the most conventional to the most modern, and just to mention a few, have put aside the needs of lefties.

These exclusions, however, gradually been taken into account. Just this year, it became possible for the Android operating system could be configured for left-handers. On the other hand, Apple Magic Mouse is one of the innovative devices that can reassign left and right click, making it practical for those who use their left hand more.

If this problem has not been so evident, it is that left-handed people have been slowly adapting, as has happened with other aspects of your life. However, it is clear that is needed to give weight to those who, despite being a minority, are also users of new technologies.
