    Anyone claiming a smartphone or tablet can replace a regular computer is a delusional fool who has not tasted the power and freedom that a computer offers. I tried catching up on my tablet and it made me realize once again how limiting and cumbersome touchscreens are and how android is not making it easy navigating anything and its ecology is not geared to power users. Autocorrect and predictive text blocks are mere crutches and poor imitations of the feats one can do when mastering touch typing on a physical keyboard. I coould learn doing that on a screen keyboard but doing so blindly is verging on the impossible.

      @adiwan Extremely agree. It feels as though smart phones and tablets have become ever more restrictive. I do value the constant connectivity, but my phone could never possibly replace my computer.

        @elli I have a friend who is a teacher and they have children who have never touched a Windows PC. Those children are in a majority. THAT is scary.
