Mobile fanatics who think PC's are dying out?
So, it is a fact that widespread use of personal computers as general computing machines is dying out.
I believe even in Asia that the main medium for connecting to the internet are mobile devices. This may possibly even true in the US at this point.
I understand the convenience of having a tablet or mobile device with a touch screen interface and "apps", however I think people are forgetting the importance of the PC, monitor, keyboard and mouse interface.
It seems like people don't know that mobile "apps" need to be developed, and they don't just come out of thin air.
And my point is, it is Way easier to develop software on a PC/laptop with a big external monitor, and a keyboard and mouse.
I can't imagine any developer who would give up their PC for a tablet or iPhone as their primary development platform.
Seriously, I can't imagine myself or anyone ever wanting to actually write software on a mobile device.
I feel like traditional PCs will eventually die. But not replaced by touchscreens fully. I think phones will have the ability to plug into a screen and mouse/KB (wired or wireless) and run a full function PC operating system. Kind of like Motorola's webtop that hasn't really caught on but more functional.
- You think I could buy a iPhone 5 if i work what you guys think? You guys think that if i work at McDonald or any store i can afford to buy the iPhone 5? And pay every month
- Why is my iPhone dying faster? I dropped my iPhone a week ago and it cracked. Ever since I cracked it, the battery seems to die a lot faster. Do you think the energy is leaking out of the cracks?
- When do you guys think the iPhone 5s will come out? I have been looking all over the internet and can't find anything. When do you guys speculate that it will come out? Also, when the iphone 5 came out, they made the iphone 4 free. Do you think they will do the same to the iphone 4s when the 5s comes out?
- What mobile phone do you think will be perfect for me? I currently have the Iphone 5s and I like it but I've had it for 5 years now and its a bit mashed up… I like that it's small and I'm looking for a phone that is the same size as this but with a good quality camera and video. Can anyone recommend something similar to this or if there's another Apple phone out that also has the features I'm looking for?
