Not quite, with age comes experience. Learning from that experience is wisdom.
Not quite. Actually putting into practice what has been learned is true wisdom.

What blows my mind is the (muscle) memory involved in this. I’m using touchscreen based phones for ~10-15 years and my last phones had a QWERTY keyboard (Hardware buttons!).
can still write texts like I never stopped using these phones. Using T9 I may be even faster than on my smartphone today. I really miss those tactile buttons…
And the battery lasted forever
t9 was a gamechanger

Tbh I could do that on a plain numeric keypad. I remember blindly texting under my desk in school. I wouldn’t be able to do it nowadays though.
