In comparison to a desktop keyboard or even a laptop keyboard the mobile devices of today and their touch screens with tiny virtual keys require new ways of using the limited real estate of the touch surface of these devices which will remain small in order to fullfill their roll as ideal devices for mobile utilization.

A chronicle of the things I find interesting or deeply important. Exploring generally 4 pillars of intense research.
