computers have changed how i eat

In one very subtle, yet solid, way.

Throughout my childhood (and up to about halfway through college), if I ate alone it was usually with a book in one hand. I’d hold the book in my left hand and eat with my right (strength in the off-hand, finesse in the primary — that’s normal, right?). Now, though, I’m more likely to have my laptop than a book, and I eat with my left hand while mousing with my right. It actually feels odd and strange to eat with my right hand.

Have you noticed any behavioral changes that computers have brought about in you?

    I seem to be ambidextrous and can eat or compute with either hand.
    I often find myself holding/feeding a baby with my right hand and browsing the Net with my left. Eating can go either way depending on where I’m at and what else I’m doing. I may be feeding the baby with my right hand, eating with my left, and browsing with the middle.

    i generally eat with both hands (food in the right, drink in the left) while eating alone (and watching something).
    its much more polite than that when people are around.
