    If people can function only with a phone, there’s a LOT they aren’t doing.

    I use my phone constantly, but trying to get even a rooted Android phone to replace my PC’s? Yea, no.

    I’m not doing spreadsheet stuff only on my phone, or documents, or page layout, etc.

    That younger folks are heavily mobile centric is a result of pressure by Google/MS, etc to get them used to it. When they’re used to the limitations of mobile it’ll be easier to limit PCs in the same ways.

    And business, yea, no, mobile isn’t replacing computers. They’re great adjuncts, but even my laptop screen is sometimes too small - and I’m not someone that needs a large screen although time.

      Yeah as soon as you try to get to the advanced level of any task then mobile sputters out.

      I’m making a personal spreadsheet on my phone, and as soon as i want to do anything even slightly advanced it turns out that that feature either doesn’t exist in the app or is extremely undiscoverable.

      Similarly for video and audio editing, you can really do a lot of it on mobile, but as soon as you want to do advanced things then the features either don’t exist or are much slower and harder to accomplish on mobile
