Why Does Nobody Use Computers Anymore?

- Опубліковано 18 тра 2024
- Have you noticed that nobody tends to use computers anymore? Of course, computers are still extremely popular for productivity and office use and they’re one of the most popular technologies in the world. But, when compared with smartphones, computers pale in comparison. In fact, when you take a look at the web traffic of some of the most popular websites in the world, you’ll see that most of them receive 85% or even more of their traffic from smartphones. One of the main reasons for this is younger generations, specifically Generation Z. Gen Z tend to have way more screen time than any generation that precedes them and almost all of their screen time is on smartphones. Something else to note is that computers are generally used for productivity while smartphones are more often used for scrolling the web and social media. This video explains the various reasons that computers have largely fallen out of favor in comparison to smartphones and the future of computers.

I'm watching this on a computer.
Same.
tbh i hate videos on small phones
Same.
Hahaha 15% gang
I'm watching this on a smartphone.
the one thing i hate is that more websites for desktops are using mobile design philosophies even though its awful to look at. youtube now has huge thumbnails that only let see 6 videos at a time. big thumbnails work for mobile but are just unnecessary on a desktop screen which is at least 4 times bigger than smartphone. i have to keep it zoomed out to make resemble how it used to be,
UA-cam does it so you just use the app instead. They want the desktop experience to be as bad as possible
@@chiquita683and then their mobile website has more features than their app! It’s annoying. They refuse to make a good UA-cam app.
I use 125% zoom for Chrome on my pc. I don't have bad eyes I just like to actually see the detail in thumbnails and the buttons are small - my feed shows 5 across - oh and I use an ultrawide monitor
For me the modern design is better than it ever was before, not sure what the complaint is about, the feed used to be exactly like mobile is right now lol, the single column of videos and infinite scrolling
Depending on how many people you're subbed to, you can see the entire days sub feed with minimal scrolling on desktop
there's a tremendous amount of enshittification for desktop users due to mobile domination
Let me say this, UA-cam's mobile apps are shit now too. I actually used to like their UI back in the day but now the mobile experience is so bad I stopped using it on my phone altogether. I just reduce the zoom on the web for youtube and make do with it. The phone's UI is designed to make you rely on autoplay and recommendations; which makes using the subscriptions tab very annoying to use.
I mean, you need to be stationary to use a computer. I'm not surprised tech site stats show a predominant preference to mobile searches.
But, you can also do a lot more with computers
@@LogicallyAnsweredWell, you can't take your desktop computer inside the train/bus when commuting to/from work…
You can't take your desktop computer to a weekend trip into deep forrest, where all you have is EDGE (if lucky)
@@LogicallyAnsweredmost people don’t need to do more. They’re just scrolling, reading, or watching videos.
@@FalkonNightsdale That's where laptops come. But I do agree. My main PC is a desktop, and it's way more powerful than my two laptops.
@@LogicallyAnswered I only see Mobile and Desktop for UA-cam, I wonder where they count Smart TVs.. I watch most YT videos on Tv. (nothig beat +100cm in 4k) 😇🙃
When I'm at home I only use a computer. Smartphone is nice on the go, but at home, I sometimes don't even use it for a day, because the computer is so much more convenient for effectively anything, working, surfing, gaming, watching movies etc. Easier typing, bigger screen, better performance.
Same when I'm at home I spend the vast majority of my waking hours in front of my computer, and I don't use my phone for anything other than occasionally checking texts.
Oddly enough I like mobile gaming than PC gaming....
Big screen too bright.
I"m the same way, but it could be that I am older - my first exposure to my digital life was on the computer.
Yeah...I guess I'm a dinosaur. I have a gaming PC that I do everything on. Same with my laptop when I'm on the go.
Only time I use my phone is if I'm on the bus to and from work.
Kids today don't know what a real computer is, much less how to use one.
Same hahaha, #pcmasterrace
@@LogicallyAnswered BASED
Even at home its so much smarter to do things on your phone. Less power required and getting started is faster
That's becoming a hilarious crutch. Younger people don't actually understand the technology they're using, but there is no end to the tablet child degeneration.
@@LogicallyAnsweredYES #pcmasterrace STAND UP
I used to have my laptop everywhere with me but ever since I started using a tablet it just made everything much easier
I'll never abandon computers. My gaming pc is just so useful for me. What I do would NEVER be possible on a phone, without mentioning that I really dislike browsing the web from a phone. It's much better having a regular PC that has the industry standards and making it last for many years if you upgrade it once you are not satisfied anymore. Though, I would never take the merits off phones, without them the access to internet would not have reached almost the entire world, as they are very flexible and come in every price range and it stays on your pocket, unlike a conventional computer.
too bad, the average donkey has been sold a shartphone and disagrees with you. your ability on pc to restrict pesky enshittification that mobile users have to put up with due to being locked down on crapware OS ensures big tech will be coming for your pc soon enough.
I'm 42, former apple fan boy, and I built my first pc recently.
What a fascinating and slightly scary process but sooo satisfying.
I love my monolith.
Hows life past 40?
My thought is that there was a generation that was simply forced to use computers to accomplish anything. But that the number of people that were into computers because they love computers and the things they do (rather than just using them in a utilitarian way) is a pretty static portion of the population.
in other words: the gen z 'nerds' will be just as into computers as millennial and even older nerds were
but all the other personality types decided to use mobile devices as soon as that type of 'appliance' device became viable
I'm a little older than you and the people of my peer group that were into computers as children are still into computers. Everyone else moved to their phones
You said former Apple fanboy, can you elaborate why you are no longer one?
At least you are brave enough to switch. As for me, I am a PC user. Been contemplating of switching to Apple, but I ain't got the gut yet 😀 I hope I don't have to.
@@rafiqmuhamad8251 id just run a hackintosh virtual machine if I need apple. Apple overcharge people for basic upgrades like SSDs.
This has BEEN a trend. Anyone not living under a rock in the last 10 years would know. It’s unfortunate because computers are nicer and last a lot longer than smartphones.
100%. There are a huge amount of e-waste smartphones that only last about a year. A lot of people use 10+ year old PCs with no trouble.
Absolutely,i hate phones and the main reason is how bad in quality they are,even the most expensive ones just don't last as long.
Its genuily annoying how short some phones last.@@VertexPlaysMC

I prefer PC to mobile. The larger screen and the physical keyboard just can't be beat
Yes, but I just have an HDMI to USBC cable and you can still use a keyboard with the phone. It's easier for to have everything on one device and only use the computer for only the things that you actually need that kind of power for a gaming or video editing.
Scrolling on PC sucks though.
@@curts7801 how?
@@curts7801 explain
@@Qwami I either click on the tiny arrow at the bottom, and click and click, over and over again, or I click and drag the little side bar. If the browser allows it, I can tap the arrow keys to scroll too. Tap tap. All of them have my arms or hands in uncomfortable positions. I’m stuck at a desk. I have to move my hands when I want to type, then go back to the mouse when I’m done.
The phone, I just slide away. My keyboard, it’s always right at the bottom of the screen when I click a type field. When the keyboard is gone, my thumbs are in the same position as they were before, and I just slide away. If I do need to scroll with the keyboard up, I raise my thumb 2 inches up and slide from there. I can set a default zoom for the font of most pages, so that the font is not remotely small. No making sure I click on the right spot. Sometimes I click, and I’m off by a pixel, and nothing happens, and that’s annoying. Fast scroll bar is to the right of the text, and I can just drag that, instead of mousing over to it and clicking and holding that click. And I’m not tethered to a desk like a hunched over nerd.
About the only thing the desktop does better is editing text.
I haven’t browsed the internet on a desktop or laptop for years, outside of mods for games. Which makes my desktop a toy. It’s obsolete, and I don’t need it, outside of that sweet sweet frames per second.

More reasons: Battery life on laptops these days (esp windows) is dog shite compared to smartphone.

I don’t think it’s a shift. More people own smartphones, even kids use smartphones, and they don’t necessarily have computers. So that percentage doesn’t show a shift in usage, but the growth in smartphone market share
I use a computer, I sit here and watch this on my PC. And I will deprive myself of sleep to use it more throughout the night.

Taking any public transit in Japan would show how inaccurate that statement is about Japanese using their smartphones is. Almost literally every single person is using one. And there are close to a hundred people on the train at any given time.
That's true, but that is the ONLY place like that. It's because making the same commute every day is boring. There is nothing else to do. You seldom see them elsewhere. Not often on the sidewalks. Smart phones are banned at concerts until the very end. Most libraries ban laptops. Some restaurants ban smart phones, but even if allowed they are not seen there.. In sum: much less than in other countries.
Certainly it is not that "NOBODY" use computer anymore?

I think that the premise is wrong. It isn't that people don't use computers anymore, they are just using smartphones to browse the web more often now. Not to mention that it's easier to introduce people to internet on a smartphone than on an laptop. My mother still gets confused when I mention a name of a browser when I tell her to switch on another in her laptop but on the phone she just clicks and icon and googles stuff.
And you prefer the prison experience versus having a palette of choices ?
My mom at 74 uses Linux Mint on a PC.
@@qrsx66 okay...? I didn't say anything that it's better to have a prison of experience. I was just saying that the decrease in PC usage is understandable since now they are alternatives to use apps - smartphones, tablets etc.
This is actually concerning for mental health. In the past, we had plenty of time to sit with only our thoughts, e.g. in the bathroom, while commuting etc. This gives us time to take stock of our memories, our situations, our ideas, anything that is bothering us, etc.
Smartphones have essentially taken this "meditation" time away from us.
Is it really any wonder why it's so common to try and sleep only to feel wide awake even if you've been tired all day?
I'm watching this on my PC :). I love it! At work, I insisted on a PC over a laptop. It's more comfortable with the larger screen, ability to open multiple apps, and better ergonomics. Using a mouse is a breeze. Watching people hunched over laptops with trackpads baffles me. I always use a mouse with laptops, but after an hour, my posture hurts. At work, one of my colleagues was insisting that nobody uses PCs. Yet, I always catch him logged onto my PC whenever I return from working at a different site. LOL!
Right? the peripherals of desktops are top tier. Sound system, screen, wireless mouse & keyboard, mic's, etc. plus I enjoy the RGB.
Laptops are pcs. PCs can be laptops, desktops, netbooks
Man, trackpads are so garbage, I can't stand using these things. Whenever my mom asks me to do something on her laptop I HAVE to connect a mouse to it, it's just unbearable to use that thing.
Agreed I'm also a Desktop > Laptop sort of guy haha
@@LogicallyAnswered Your video's accurate, it's just the PC crowd is a vocal minority.
It’s not that less people are using computers it’s that more people can use the internet from their phones more often so it will get a larger percentage
I use a computer more than I use my phone, my daughter uses her phone and nearly never uses a computer. I think this is definitely a generational trend.
In a lot of places outside of US, especially those who lived on 3rd world countries, PC parts are notoriously expensive. And because less people used PC, used parts pricing is not great either. Of course not everyone does not need a powerful gaming/workstation level rig, but I guess, at the more basic level, smartphone and tablet already replace low powered PC as they can do a lot nowadays. Not to mention, smartphone and tablet can get really cheap relatively to their functions and performance, as cheaper laptops/PCs often really limited on capabilities.
I personally don't have internet at my house, so I have to do everything through my phone anyway. Any software that I want to run on my pc that expects an internet connection is likely worthless to me, which is a huge pain
mobile hotspot ? I use my phones data as my router lol. I use 500gb a month
@@moodmusicytc Verizon all but shuts it off after 15. I've heard you can root your phone and bypass that but I haven't tried it yet.
Same. My apartment has terrible internet. I just use my phone. I have a hotspot just in case I need a computer for a program but that’s it.
learn to tether!
@@thewhitefalcon8539 YT deleted my comment for some reason, but what I was saying is that Verizon throttles my Hotspot into uselessness after 15GB (which also applies to tethering) and last time I looked into disabling their ability to monitor it, it required rooting my phone, which on my model comes with a chance to brick it
When my gaming laptop died I replaced it with a 12.9" ipad pro bc I no longer gamed and had no actual need for a proper computer and the flexibility of an ipad was simply better for my life. (Elder Millenial)
I tend to use my laptop only for specific tasks… I’d say for more serious stuff though not necessarily work. It’s just the convenience that phones can do so much these days
I have a gaming laptop. Still I use and play games on my phone and switch because I am addicted to on the go devices. I like to use my devices wherever I go.
This is the problem with working with the false unit, working with % of users using mobile and seeing an increase does NOT translate into less people using PC.
This was a interesting video. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work.
Well, technically phones are also computers 😅
Hahaha, honestly a completely different segment at this point
@@LogicallyAnswered Why? the big differences are really just touch as the input, cellular connectivity, and batteries.
better words are desktop and laptops and price tags
I hope the OAMA (Open App Market Act) passes so phones actually become computers.
@@the_mariocrafter that won't make phones be more like computers. Look what apple did in Europe. They will find a way to comply as painfully as possible for the consumer.
Well the simple answer is
For business work you go to a PC or laptop.
For casual people, you go to a smartphone that allows you to access just a single screen with no other distractions.
For example i login 8 hours work on my office pc and then get back home and on UA-cam. Any casual thing does not need a complex interface anymore (and a ton of freemium games to prey on whatever leftover time there is , so we can while away the time being as unproductive as possible)
TV are monitors, it amazes me how few people actually take advantage of this fact
Eh I argue that using phones can also make people distracted easily. It's easy to switch to your social media apps when you have, for example, a zoom meeting in your phone. Of course we can still open social media in our PCs, but most of the time, the experience for the web version isn't that appealing.
So both can be distracting. Desktops for their bigger screens and the ability to see many things at once, and mobiles for their easy to use and more apps geared for consumptions. It depends on who are using it. Btw I can get distracted by both devices, maybe I'm just an easily distracted person 😅
They both have their pros and cons, and in fact I use my computer much more than my phone when I'm at home. But if I was forced to choose just one or the other, I would choose to keep my smartphone mainly for the portability and also the ability to take/make phone calls.
I have one work laptop, gaming laptop and gaming Desktop at home but I can say after my work laptop I mostly use Phone
Honestly when I am home I barely check the phone once every few hours. Computer all the way. I also spend a lot more for my pc than the smartphone.
I much prefer using my computer and I'm on it a lot but while I'm on my computer I'm often using my phone aswell, but my computer is huge and very stationary, i can only use it when I'm in the same room as it, so tgat greatly reduces the amount if time i can be on it because I'm out, or visiting a friend, or even just on the sofa watching tv, smartphones or portable devices offer the ability for access everywhere i think it's as simple as that.
Well 3 factors are missing in my opinion
1) laziness. Sitting on the couch and googling the actor is far more convenient. one doesn't need to stand up, walk to the pc, sit down before searching.
2) location. For pc usage you are bound to the place it's set up while mobile works during walks, traveling, during gardening etc. Yes laptops are an option to some degree but runtime, weight and size limit it as a device you use all the time
3) thumbs. Everything which can't be done efficiently using 2 thumbs pretty forces people to use pcs. 3d modeling = pc, writing walls of text/code = pc, precise handlings = pc, clicking/swiping next=mobile, searching 2 words=mobile, GPS stuff=mobile
I imagine people use their smart phones on a couch, because even laptops are heavy, and you are not going to use a keyboard mouse and monitor on a couch.
Back then I use to use my computer for all my entertainment, watching UA-cam, surfing the web etc. now that I have an iPhone I do everything on there. My computer is only turned on to play games with the boys 😭
This was a trend that i noticed years ago. I assumed the tablet would have replaced PCs even more, but then phones replaced tablets too so now phones took over everything. In a graph of OS market share Android took over Windows as the most popular OS a few years ago. Honestly, I get it since it's the portability factor that pushes people to phones, along with the quick pickup and use feature that phones have since to use a PC you have to start it up and sit down to use it, but for phones they're always on and ready to use whenever you want.
Phones were computers since the very beginning of them, by definition... It really just boils down to a form factor and conceptions between people. Sure it's sad to let old things go, but at least we have some kind of computer in our palms...
But they are not used to compute anything. Not used to create anything. They are a passive consumer tool, more like a television than a computer.
Why would I get up from my comfy couch to go sit upright in a chair and use a mouse and keyboard to do things I can do on my phone, tablet, or in rare cases my laptop.
I literally couldn't do anything in life without my PC

Fascinating video. My choice of device depends on what I’m up to. If I’m writing, doing mechanical design work, numerical computing, or graphics, I use my laptop. If I’m just killing time, reading the news, or watching UA-cam, I’m usually on my phone. All told, I’d say that time-wise, it’s a 50-50 split.
The speed and comfort I can do things on PC are lightyears ahead of smartphone.
Imo, it's also due to pricing of both devices. You can get budget smartphone with midrange performance around $100 USD (mine is at RM500). Meanwhile, budget PC requires you to spend thousands(at least in my country Malaysia) and most people aren't willing to go that far unless they really need it for utility like going to university...
I'm in Bali and just about all laptops are $300 to $700. I had to go to the big city to spend $1200.
I pretty much only use my laptop for stuff. My phone is more for music and texts. If I'm on the go, I like to be unplugged from the internet. I bring a book along with me to occupy my time if I'm stuck waiting for something.
Superb content. Yet again. Thanks for your excellent analysis on this important (and interesting) topic.
I guess I’m just really old school. When I’m at home I love to plop myself down in front of one of my desktop computers (Linux PC, Windows PC, Mac, Spectrum Next). I never use my phone when I’m in the house. Why would I want to use such a tiny screen with no keyboard (I can type a UA-cam comment 100X faster on a real keyboard). The love of smartphones has baffled me. I only bought my first smartphone very begrudgingly a few years ago since I started to need it just to do basic things outside the house like sports and concert tickets. but when I actually have a choice, (in my house), I’m always sitting at one of my desktop PCs with large multi-screen monitors. Plus I like to have access to actual “files” that I can manipulate in various ways and open ended programmes where you can pass data between with those various files rather than the locked-down “app centric” way that phones tend to work. It’s just not the way I do computing. I don’t just “consume” according to how the manufacturer wants but rather I edit and tinker and need access to raw files and data to do that. Example: what if I want to buy an audiobook, strip out the DRM, remux the file into a different container format, transfer it to my PLEX server, etc? See I don’t just “consume” prepackaged stuff “as is”, but often need to manipulate it and do processing on it in a variety of programmes and utilities. That’s why I use real PCs.
While I personally use computers more than my smartphone (I mean I own two desktops and two laptops, and just one smartphone), I do agree that most people primarily use smartphones, and computers for work or productivity. For example father only uses a smartphone to get online, and has never personally owned a computer.
Hey! Does the website you used to compare internet usage between mobile and PC exclude bots?
The Brazilian channel 'Ciência Todo Dia' made a video about a significant percentage of internet usage being bots (47,4% in 2022 according Imperva). Considering that, I suppose the percentage of active PC users browsing would be even lower, don't you think so?
What about those botfarms consisting of dozens of smartphones or tablets ?
"nobody uses computers anymore, just one out of six in whole world"
Because China is mobile first（or mobile only) and skipped the entire PC generation. TikTok is a natural culmination of being mobile first while Vine got tangled in the western PC to mobile transition.
I am a volunteer in migrating medical records to go digital and you would be amazed how many people can barely operate using mouse, keyboard, or trackpad. On the first day of practice they are ALWAYS trying to touch the screen, be it a laptop or desktop. The age doesn't matter either, 90% of them only have exposure to touchscreen. We end up deciding to use a touchscreen laptop or desktop when the institution can afford it. If that's too much for them, we offer two two-week lesson on how to operate a computer.
Here are some steps for migrating medical records:
Assess needs and goals
Form an implementation team
Consider available vendors
Review facility requirements
Start planning
Digitize paper records
Adjust workflows
Destroy paper records
Maintain training
Some challenges of migrating medical records include: Long processes, Preparation, Training, Implementation costs, Lack of user-friendly interface.
One way to convert paper records to electronic records is to scan and file them as digital images in the medical organization's cloud storage. When needed, a secure digital copy can be provided.
@@letsplaywar Great, because medical records are so safe in digital form, nobody would ever be able to access them and sell the data,, oh wait thats already happened
About that amount of phone & PC statistics, i do think that way more people have access to computers than that statistic says since computers are often shared by a family meanwhile its common for people to have personal phones. That is likely the reason why there are 5 times more phones.
I've owned a computer for 3 years but i've used one for 15 years
I use a desktop during the day and my phone for when I'm unwinding in the evening doing little things around the house. And for many things that I do try to use just for quick look, I regret because I know it'd be easier to hop around and read on my computer.
Maybe the percentage of time on the internet has shifted towards smart phones. But saying nobody uses computers anymore is crazy. Also, Smart phones are computers!
Arent phones and tablets technicaly computers?
Basically a different segment nowadays
I like having a big screen and as a Mac user I like the insane power of the m3 chip,a lot of things cannot be done on the phone like big editing and or gaming intensely.

Think of it like this. You mess up on the computer and there's hints and clues on what to do. Error message says file does not exist? Go find it! On an app? "Sorry, something went wrong". A Google search won't explain that. They haven't been exposed and conditioned on the troubleshooting process.

Dude alot of people have and use laptops. For instance I have a 17 inch HP laptop I typically used that for watching movies in any other type of stuff. I have a tablet got a pretty much use for entertainment purposes only. And I have two cell phones a junk cell phone and a secured cell phone in which I'm logged into my emails accounts while none of my other devices are. I don't have a desktop but I would only get one if I needed the horsepower but since I don't it's not worth the space it takes up
Heard a story from a college professor how students didn’t know how to navigate folders and files. How many young people used Chromebooks when they needed something bigger than a smartphone. The way people use computers and OS’s has changed.
Yes exactly you rejoin what I've said, this transfer goes with a loss of skill, and you control your PC when your smartphone controls you.
I was so frustrated doing some work with highschoolers unable to open multiple tabs in the process of looking for very specific informations and doing everything so slow in a unique window with lots of going backs to reloading the previous page.
Navigate the disc(s)/file architecture is also going to be problematic indeed.
An interesting thing to note here is that, a lot of people are using multiple devices, I work 8 hours a day in front of the of a computer and yes, I do use UA-cam on the office computer but that's for music, of I want to watch something I'll set my Phone bellow the monitor and use my phone to watch UA-cam, yes, I could just use a pop out video window but that obscures some part of my software and will be inconvinent in some way, instead if I use my phone I'm still using a PC but not generating traffic to UA-cam from the PC. Also sometimes I'm playing games on my PC and I want to quickly search something about a quest that I'm struggling with or something similar, I won't alt+tab to my browser even though it is running in the background I will instead pull up my phone and search Google on my phone, again, because it's more convenient slightly so, but still... I can so I will do the 1% more convenient thing.
Point is, I rarely use my PC to browse the web anymore but I do use my computer a lot every single day, and yes, I use it for watching YT videos but that's in like the 3h that I have at home daily and maybe I'll be playing a game or watching an anime in that time instead,so I am still in the statistics even though I am a very heavy PC user.
Watching this on my phone a.k.a portable COMPUTER 🦕😎
I always use my laptop. It's so ridiculous that I would sit there on my phone once I get home. My tablet or phone might have a show on while I am computing. Smartphones 24-7 are for the poors.
The only thing I use my smartphone for is calls, texts, playing music when in the car, or doing quick google searches while using my PC for other stuff.
Hey LA are you all official and productive or do you so anything on computers just for fun such as playing games?
I never understood why so many people prefer to do everything on their phone. I've always preferred my computer with more powerful specs, better audio, and a much larger screen. Smart phones are a last resort for me to the point that I didn't even own one until last year.
Really misleading title, false too Oo
The number of people who used computers has not changed. The number of people with easy access to MOBILE COMPUTERS has significantly changed. Big difference.
When I commute to and from work and watch videos like these as podcasts, it contributes to a good chunk of my daily phone time usage.
Can u imagine how slow it is to type a long email,
on a cell phone,
while on desk top computer,
the task can be done much more quickly
clickbait
I work as web developer for more than 10 years, I game for 30 years, I watch movies, I watch tv, I mastur.. nevermind.. And all that on my PC. Never had a laptop and I would never buy one, because how bad they are considering the price.
I'm from a developing country.... I have a smartphone and a tablet (both are budget friendly).... I have been wanting a good laptop because both my devices couldn't use physical keyboard (I use keyboard and mouse on the tablet when studying and note making) to type other alphabet except English.... But an update to Gboard fix this issue and I now can comfortably use my physical keyboard for typing in other alphabet.... And I no longer have any need for a laptop or desktop....
But have you experienced fully desktop computing to say it doesn't fullfil any need better ?
@@qrsx66 well, I used to own a Toshiba laptop.... I don't do any heavy work like photo video editing..... So my needs are fulfilled by the tablet.... But yeah there's still things that can only be done on a full desktop os.... Currently I don't have a specific need for a desktop os.....
I have a custom-built gaming desktop with a 75" tv for a monitor and a 17"Alienware gaming laptop. I will use my phone for the internet as a passenger in a car or out to eat but never in between. I'm a screen-size snob. Many people spend more time commuting than they do at home, makes sense there. I'm currently watching this video on my custom pc...
I feel the same way, I can hardly do anything on a smartphone screen, I have a 12 inch chromebook that I use instead of a smartphone for mobile use, having a keyboard and decently sized display goes a long way, I have an old powerhouse of a desktop I use for most things.
Nope. Staring at a tiny screen is not for me. I don't understand the people who do it.
100% of real gamers use computers
I use my laptop majority of the time
I have a desktop, PC gaming is OP. The PC gaming market isn't going anywhere, until VR is good enough.
You need to buy new devices every couple of years and both can go over a thousand dollars, so you have to choose between something you can use on the go or something you only use when you're at home or sitting down.
Bingo! Phones are the most portable & useful of our tech devices so far. Although I'm still waiting for something better to arrive soon.
Nasty comment from a computer
0:05 oh
I've never boutht any thing advertised on a mobile ad. The closest is maybe a UA-cam sponsored video on a type of product I'm actively researching before pulling the trigger. I suppose sponsored spots might get me interested (like the "Delete Me" type services I've been seeing a lot of "this video is brought to you by" spots), but I'm not sure that count.
I'm happy to be in the minority of internet traffic. Gotten to the point of not glued to my phone on the go.I only use my phone to use utility or music apps.
I'm watching this on a tv. Makes we wonder, are tvs considered computers or mobile in this context (given that my tv runs Android) ?
I had the exact same thought lurking in back of mind for ages until this video came out. Agree with this 100%. I turn on the desktop only when i think its uncomfortable to do the task on a mobile phone which is getting exceedingly rare. I watch content on TV, but all other computer tasks that were done on personal laptop and desktop a decade ago, i just need a phone period, they are much more powerful now and fit in the hand.
For those who comment saying they use computer all day, yes even i use a PC for more than 9 hours a day for work, but thats work not "personal use". This video is talking about personal use and its absolutely true that PCs are just not used as much as before. I still need PC for gaming but thats when i find time lol and thats getting harder with work (not even once a month).
Desk top keyboards are so huge and easy to type,
compared to tiny tiny phone pads.
My 1 thumb cover 12 buttons on cell phone,
making it so hard to type quickly on cell phone
Ever since the iPhone's debut, I've always considered it and smartphones in general more a PDA than a phone because that always felt secondary.
The only time i use a cell phone is when outside house,
or during meal time,
since i cannot carry my desktop with me when outside
How do you count Samsung Galaxy under Dex mode? Mobile? Computer?
