Looks like desktop and laptop computers are on the way out. The smartphone
with it's always on internet browser is coming in. Use a tablet to connect
to your smartphone's own hotspot if you want a larger screen. Portable,
mobile use anywhere. Should also kill computer desk sales. Works for me.

Where do you suppose most of the content that appears on smart phones and
tablets is produced? On desktop computers, that's where. That's because
trying to edit music tracks or do video production or create graphics or
even type a lot of text on itty bitty devices is at best a pain in the butt
if not downright impossible.

The desktop computer will be around for a long time because that's where
most of the work gets done. Portable devices are fun and even useful, but
they're not a replacement for desktop computers any more than cordless saws
are a replacement for a table saw.
