Outside of my Switch and Kindle my phone is all I have. It’s a $1300 super device and I find it does more than enough. A magic reactangle with the answers to all life’s problems. The ultimate minimalist device.

Any of you mobile only? What has your experience been?

    Mobile-only people are how social media exploded. Not everyone could afford, or needed, a computer. Their phone was a gateway to the internet.

    I’m a power user, so I need to view a full screen and get desktop websites. I need the speed of a keyboard and mouse.

    The disparity between desktop webpages and mobile apps/webpages is too big for my uses.

    I need the multitasking and customizability of a computer.

    I’m actually trying to go more desktop and less smart phone.

    Mobile is great for consuming. It’s not as great for creating.

    More consuming and less creating sounds like a good way to slow progress.

    The obvious next leap is full-on Idiocracy.
