TODAY’S POLL

LAST POLL RESULTS

57.1% of you voted Computer (desktop/laptop) in yesterday’s poll: Which device do you typically use for important or complex tasks?

“Always the computer for important tasks and projects.”

“PREFER IT AS A STABLE PLATFORM.”

“Computer for sure — I like the bigger screen so I can see everything at once instead of trying to make the page larger.”

“Bigger and better screen for sure.”

“For really complex tasks… a laptop with two monitors!”

“I don’t know how people do complex work on their phones.”

“It’s just not the same on something that fits in the palm of your hand.”

“My 27-inch iMac is great for all things. Trying to do things on my phone just seems too small for me.”

“I like my laptop when I need to read more than one line at a time. A larger amount of content is available for focus, and I can increase the print size on a computer more than on a cell phone.”

“I can’t stand apps or being forced to do things on my phone. The screen is too small, and apps are usually more difficult to navigate.”

“I play sudoku on my phone and will do some banking. Use a PC for bill paying and pretty much everything else.”

“I can accomplish much more with a keyboard. I’m just not thumb-fluent when it comes to texting or responding to emails on my iPhone.”

“I primarily use a computer but I am increasingly doing more important / complex tasks with my smartphone.”

“I have a laptop, a tablet, and a smartphone. I use my phone for everything, even filing my taxes. I can’t remember the last time I opened my laptop or tablet.”

“Always my cellphone. I’m a cellphone addict. Use it for business and pleasure.”

“The smartphone is so handy that it’s rare I use my laptop as much as I used to.”

“Sometimes a bigger screen is easier for reviewing large documents, but the mobile interface is usually easier to navigate — plus it’s more convenient because my phone is always with me.”

“I’m usually using Perplexity (my AI of choice) on the phone.”

“Before I retired, both equally. Now it’s only my phone, because we have no usable computer in the house. I probably should break down and get one, but my phone is actually very handy! Who would’ve ever thunk our phones can do it all? Lol!”

“I am retired and rarely use a computer, only to print out workbooks and important documents that cannot be mailed to me. I use my iPhone for Zoom, classes, workshops, shopping, and banking — the list is endless. Oh, I have taken a long break from social media and news.”

“I sit at a computer most of the day to perform most of my tasks. When I go to meetings, I use a reMarkable Pro to take notes, and if I need anything else, I take my iPad.”

“I only have a Kindle and do everything on it!”

“How about neither?! Pencil and paper for working things out. Calculator for math I am too lazy to do by hand. Really, my most-used ‘device’ is my sewing machine!”

“Neither!”

“The view is better and keyboarding is easier on the computer — great for details, numbers, etc. But the ease of the tiny computer in my hand wins out in many cases — plus it is ALWAYS with me. eyeroll”
