Phones have already supplanted pcs in many forms of creation, photography, messaging, data gathering, gps, and many many more.
The phone is now a primary photo editor for the majority of users. It's where I'm authoring this comment right now.
- loco5niner 11y agoEditing pictures for facebook and creating comments in a forum are are not particularly "forms of creation". Photoshopping a magazine cover and building a website are. As for photography, messaging, and gps. Well, of course. Those are a natural use for that form factor. I'm not going to take my laptop out to take a picture... (I'm kind of surprised you didn't mention that the phone is better for making phone calls too).
- toborrobot 11y agoNobody would take their laptop out to take a picture, but plenty of people use Skype on a laptop. Maybe it's a quirk of history that modern phones are named after the telephone; most phone usage involves reading text, not speaking or listening.
- loco5niner 11y agoAnd both of those uses are examples of consumption, not creation.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoSure. For a comment the size of a tweet, that's fine. I bet you're not writing long-form content on your phone, though. Or doing serious code development. For some content creation, there's nothing that can replace a real keyboard and a real (large) screen.
