In the future only three-year-olds will be able to dial

Five-year-old with cellphone

Probably explaining all those Nokia and Sony Ericsson ads on YuGiOh, the buttons on cellphone handsets these days aren't suitable for anyone over the age of 5, at least according to a study by the Ergonomics Society of Australia. Scarier still, at the rate we're going, they say that soon only three-year-olds will have fingers small enough to make harrassing phone calls and vote on American Idol. How should cellphone manufacturers combat this trend? Why by hiring themselves some ergonomists, of course. Preferably Australian ones.
