Thumbwork

The act of looking up information on a personal screened device such as a cellphone or tablet; especially for someone else

Trying to find information on the internet, especially on a cellphone or screened device.

The use of thumbs to look up information on a personal device, such as a cellphone or tablet.

Similar to "legwork", which was an act of traveling to places, such as a library, to gather information; thumbwork is an act of "traveling" to Google, IMDB, or certain websites on a screened device, instead.

The use of thumbs to gather information on the internet or through the use of informational apps.
Tina: "Lisa, check Urban Dictionary to see if there is a word that means "looking up information on the internet"...Lisa: "What? Why do I have to do all the boring thumbwork around here?"

"I'd love to play video games, but I'm stuck doing all the thumbwork for my boss because he's too lazy to look things up himself!"

"Yes, Sir! 'is Jimmy Hoffa still alive?'...'how many almonds can a person eat in one sitting without dying'...'is the world flat?'...'must chia seeds be ground up for the best nutritional benefit?'...'how many adult giraffes fit in an average school bus?'...I'll get right on that thumbwork immediately, sir!"
