      Give it a few years and the term “computer” might be superseded. We’ll forget where the word originated.

      I would argue that they are PDAs and smart phone is just an alternate branding. The name PDA just didn’t take off because it sounds dorky.

    There was a time where such multi devices was thought would come from watches, which would be much more telling.

      My clumsyness would destroy a high tech watch. My phone is relatively safe in my pocket. Won’t be switching over to that.

      Now we have snartwatches, but they’re much more limited, and often require a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone.
