Just stop being autistic here. You're arguing a straw man. Nobody is saying that no PC's will be sold any more, or that all work on PC's can or will be replaced

Just stop being autistic here. You're arguing a straw man. Nobody is saying that no PC's will be sold any more, or that all work on PC's can or will be replaced by mobile applications. The fact is (and all numbers prove so, from the sales numbers of phones and PC's, to the surveys and tracking data on use of mobile and desktop software) that many users can do on phones what they used to need a PC for (surfing, email, facebook) and that they have so little use for a PC that they, when facing the choice between phone and PC for cost reasons, choose the phone. I'm not sure how you're even arguing this is not true, a blind man can see it - you're arguing the equivalent of creationism.
Likewise, you boast that you are such a heavy PC user, which is exactly what puts you 3 or 4 standard deviations away from the modal user. So your diatribe on your own usage habits is statistically insignificant, and so a worthless sample.
- ionised 11y agoI uderstand that phones and tablets have replaced typical desktop usage for the most casual user section of the population but I also find it quite sad. These people (if studies and surveys are to be believed) basically 'surf' the internet through 4 or 5 particular apps on their phones and they form the filter bubble that is their experience of the internet entirely. They don't even use browsers for the most part. Maybe thes epeople never used a desktop to 'surf' the internet and discover new things in the first place, but now they never will.
