Back in the '90's you guys had flip-phones, pagers, Dell Axims, Walkmen, Cameras, Laptops and many other single-purpose devices.
We looked pretty funny with all that gear and we didn't have all of it with us all the time. That helped fuel the coming of the smartphones.
True. And then in the 2000's we moved to single devices, smartphones that did everything you used all the individual devices for and much more. Apps came and ruled supreme.
It was an incredible experience always having everything you need right there with you in your pocket. But there were compromises with each so change was inevitable.
So now we have smartphones, tablets, laptops, single-purpose devices for medical and much more. And each is well-suited to its task. What's next?
Cortana is coming. And she will rule all the devices and tell them how to interact with us. It's not SkyNet but you'll have to look hard to tell the difference. I hope you like Bing.
