Do you think that Desktop PC's will cease to exist, due to smartphones?

[QUOTE="motox781, post: 848070, member: 35376"] I believe the next step in the smartphone world is "smartphone > PC monitor = smartphone/PC". I thought it was a great idea to merge something everyone has into something useful for school, office work, etc., without being too gimmicky. Similar to what Microsoft tried: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/Continuum[/URL] Or maybe the PC market will move more towards All-in-One or Laptops (I've noticed Laptops seem to be on the rise, but I still don't personally like to use them...I don't travel though)? IDK. Most of my consumer clients don't need my tech services anymore because all of the family are using mobile devices more. Hell, even 5 year old kids are getting new $1k Iphones and don't even desire Laptops or PCs, unless it is anything Apple then they jump for joy. I voted NO though because PCs, servers, etc. will always have a use for many years to come, but will see a steady decrease in use among consumers, unless they are gaming (which is a niche market) or using PCs for business. My opinion is of course bias towards where I live. So I guess to sum up a long post haha, I would say: Desktop PCs - steady decline, unless business use or gaming. Laptops - steady increase All-in-ones - slight increase Anything mobile - higher amount of adoption [/QUOTE]
