I rarely see tablets in the wild anymore. Has anyone else had the same experience?
Even at the office I no longer see execs walking around with them. Just a few years ago these things were everywhere out in public.
I assume the remaining holdouts have relegated them to bedtime devices.

- antisthenes 10y agoThat's because tablets are a stupid toy fad. They combine the worst features of a laptop and a smartphone (too big to fit in your pocket, too awkward to type compared to a normal keyboard) and offer very dubious advantages, not to mention probably the worst software support out of all portable devices (barring smartwatches, another dumb fad). Sure, a lot of normies and apple fanboys bought into the fad originally, but now they're beginning to realize that the device is mostly useless except for some casual youtubing in bed or letting your kid play some educational games.
