everytime i feel old sitting at my desk with my chunky home built PC i realize how much shit i can get done compared to my android phone. i just don't see mobile exceeding the capabilities of desktop/laptop computing for another decade at least. in the end it's a tiny device that is basically a slow, crappy computer and they have physical limitations that will mean they will never get much better.
tablets still suck because they have all the disadvantages of a phone and none of the advantages of a desktop/laptop.
it was so fast from "computers are nerd shit" to "computers are necessities" in the 90s/00s it was like whiplash. so now we can return to being niche again. ballwark of open source/freeware stuff.
