[QUOTE="Deletedmessiah, post: 848115, member: 58665"] No. Desktop usage will reduce more and more as the time goes on but there are several tasks smartphones are incapable of doing. Smartphones aren't powerful enough to run several applications like editing, developer and other tools. Even gaming or creating and managing documents. And even leaving professionals and power users aside, smartphones are weak in several aspects in basic usages like watching videos and browsing itself. Watching videos in small screens will never compare to larger screens, Unless someone invents a portable 27 inch 8K screen that plugs into your phone and then folds to the size of a hanky when you're done using it like [USER=74969]@plat1098[/USER] mentioned. Extension support isn't even available in most smartphone browsers and where its available its vastly inferior. Dominant browser like Chrome is without extension support since Google doesn't want you to block ads and tracking and download youtube videos. You can't even use a proper firewall, systemwide adblocker and vpn all 3 at the same time unless you root. While Apple's platform is even more restrictive. So unless these two make their OS more open, or some ultra open smartphone platform arises from somewhere and becomes dominant, smartphones will be vastly inferior in several basic tasks let alone powerful tasks.
