You're disqualifying the "actual work" that people are doing on
phones an
tablets based on what empirical information??? Some people have been
doing
"real work" on tablets for decades, and from what I see, that trend is
upward.
Don't we have to define what "actual work"/"real work" is?
If what you are doing is simply posting family photos to Facebook, or
something like that, it would qualify as "real work" to you, and tablets
and phones are just fine. But, if the work you're doing is War and
Peace Part 2, or designing the next passenger airliner, that "real work"
isn't going to be done a tablet or smart phone.

Yup, and there are thousands, thousands I tell you, of people writing
War and Peace and designing passenger airliners.

I love his statement and your response.
The sad part is that of the say 100% of people in the world using
computers, perhaps 5% of them actually need one for their work. The rest
use them for entertainment. That 95% market of people using their
computers for entertainment are the ones that manufacturers will be
catering to in producing new tablets, ultrabooks and smartphones. The
technology is incredibly advanced and used to distract the populace
rather than to help them produce anything of worth.
