This doesn't sound any worse than iOS. If you're worried about personal computing you can rest assured that it died for the average consumer a decade ago.

- bbarnett 5y agoI believe this is the wrong way to put it. Personal computing never existed for the average consumer. The computing market was filled with hobbiests, specialists, and those needing a computer for some task. EG, authors typing manuscripts (part time work?). Since then, the average consumer bought phones with extra fluff on it. They use it as toys, gimmicky things. During that time of the average consumer buying phones, general purpose computing device use had still grown. It has merely shrunk as the overall percentage of "computing devices owned by people". Nothing has died. General computing device purchasing and usage is at an all time high..
