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'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.

My thought is that there was a generation that was simply forced to use computers to accomplish anything.

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.

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 RU-vid. 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)

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 😅

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 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 RU-vid 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.

Tbf, using a trackpad is a truly awful experience and I'd totally understand if that was the largest sticking point. I can't really use a laptop unless it's set up in a relatively stationary spot with a mouse attached... honestly I don’t love mice either, but they're less annoying than a touchscreen device and less of a sensory frustration than a trackpad, and they do their job without getting in my way *too* much.

One thing I can confidently say being in the IT space for 20 years is that Gen-Z is by far the most technologically ignorant. I feel cell phones and the ease they have brought to people has made younger people this way.

I just went back to using a computer. I have a work laptop that i travel with and don't think i once took my personal macbook out of the house. Since i wanted to move back to PC, why not buy a cheap mini pc that does more than a macbook (e.g games). Cost me $500 and currently works better than my $4K macbook, including editing. Unless your into very heavy video, elite gaming or music editing 99% of the builds out there are overpowred for what you use it for.

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

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.

Computers were a niche product designed for productivity that slowly gained features attractive to more common folk such as spreadsheets and games. When the Internet became mainstream, the computer was the only appliance available to use it that happened to have a bunch of functionality most people would never use coming with a lot of caveats; hence why Chromebooks are a thing.

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...

@katanah3195 2 дня назад

Yep. My favourite forum site, that had looked exactly the same since like 2002 and I absolutely loved the old forum look, got a brand new redesign the last couple years, and I hate it. They used to have a bunch of funky coloured themes, now just light mode and two basic dark mode variants, the blackest black looks kind of like the black and orange theme I liked before but not quite, it's missing the obnoxious Tigger orange. I mean, every site is shittier now than they were even a few years ago, but this one was a shock since they'd had the same exact style for nearly 20 years... a design, I might add, that looked fine on mobile, I used to browse it on an absolute piece of shit with a postage stamp screen back in middle school. I guess I just expected this site to stay designed for desktop, because it's a forum for a particular series of PC games, so... well... It used to look like a site from the very early 00s, with the 20 years of old broken shit and technical debt and an outdated but cozy interface. Like 70% of the time it felt modern with an old aesthetic, and then that 30% was when you'd stumble into a weird subsection reminding you, hey, this place is older than you thought. Then they went and added slick modern UI and minimalist design everywhere and broke everything. It looks wrong now, the interface is simultaneously easier to figure out what buttons do, and way harder to find everything I could find on the old UI. It doesn't look like an old forum anymore, it looks like every modern website. I hate it.

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. My engineering job boils down to wrangling an unruly program with scripts and debugging errors. Me and my programming new hires are lean and mean. But that's the thing: the best computer people are engineers. Big Tech is eating up the tech savvy so sales and marketing end up with Instagram scrollers.
