Someone else pointed out that for more and more people their phones are replacing a desktop/laptop.

Good luck doing any kind of actual productive work on a phone.

Its just a device for chewing through content as fast as your fingers can scroll.

Not everyone needs to use a dedicated desktop/laptop at home. You might do whatever you need to do quicker on a desktop or laptop but if you aren't working that may not be an issue. I know several people who fit this description.

There’s very little I do in my day to day life that can’t be handled on my phone. If I didn’t game I’d probably have a seldomly used laptop.

Online banking, ordering basically anything, paying bills, paying rent, etc can all be done on mobile now. Systems are now built with mobile as a first class use case because people do so much on their phones. Just because you don’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t.

Yes. But real work I said. You didn't read my first paragraph.

Try working with a spreadsheet on a phone. OK?

The second paragraph you have a point. It very useful. However, you won't spend hours with your bankapp or your uber food app. Most of the time its an endless scroller tool. Am I right?
