David Carr’s essay reflects very well on the title of his essay, “Keep Your Thumbs Still When I am talking to you”. Carr gives examples that relate to personal examples of how people today are constantly on their phones.

It is observed that larger salmon tend to be more likely to die during spawning season due to stranding in shallow waters, and predation by gulls and bears. There is a selection pressure against large body size despite the advantages it brings, such as being able to gather more territory, ability to carry more eggs.
