I originally used my desktop pc during the beginning of SW, but have switched over to using a tablet. I rarely use my phone, because the screen is too small.

Full PC.

I need that anyway for physical ease of use, and I need a large screen for some of my applications and tasks.

My portable 'phone is too small for any Internet use and I have not even tried to connect it. Its display area measures only about 65 X 45mm; and even a text-message can need scrolling to read fully.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@OverTheHill Oh yes! For me it's a mixture of older eyes still, and needing to handle sprawls of information such as time-tables, spread-sheets and CAD drawings.

My typing was always rough so I need a proper keyboard. Some years ago, at work, I helped catalogue hundreds of formal documents, using a spreadsheet on a lap-top. I found it a real trial, though it was eased a bit by standing the computer on a closed ring-binder to put it at a more comfortable angle.

'

On which, here's a thing.....

For centuries, people used sloping writing-desks, or portable writing-slopes that could be put on a flat table; to make hand-writing much more comfortable. The traditional school desk was similarly sloped; but as far back as pre-printing Mediaeval times, the abbey scriptoria were similarly equipped for the monks and nuns hand-copying long texts including the Bible. Perhaps they had discovered that using a flat desk for some hours a day, day after day, led ultimately to muscle problems.

So why, quite quickly in the 20C but well before the PC or "smart"-'phone, was the writing-slope suddenly rejected right, left and centre in favour of universally level surfaces? It's almost as if the wheel, having proven its worth over millennia, was suddenly discarded in favour of some strange alternative geometry, maybe like the rounded heptagon that is the British 50p coin!

@justanothername You are right and I do use glasses for screen use, but my main reason for the big screen is the sprawling images created by spreadsheets, time-tables, CAD drawing, and the like.

@ArishMell thanks for enlightening me.

@BackyardShaman I’m sorry but not a single letter in this reply is connected. I think maybe you could be not telling us the truth.

As I sit in front of my computer (a Macbook) anyway, I use the thing to read SW posts or to write comments. Typing on a cellphone simply isn't fun, I'd do that only in cases of "dire emergency" 😏
OverTheHill · 61-69, M
@helenS i use one finger to type on my phone. It is much slower.

My phone. I use my phone for pretty much everything. But I have a “pro max” iPhone, so it’s larger.
OverTheHill · 61-69, M
@666Maggotz I have a Samsung S10+ which is a larger screen. I still opt for my 10 inch tablet.
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
Almost always through my phone. I used to use my laptop but that feels so alien these days
OverTheHill · 61-69, M
@deadgerbil I understand. I figured younger people would almost all use their phones exclusively.
@deadgerbil You’re an alien these days son 😛

@SethGreene531 Our LG washer notifies us when the laundry is done.
@OverTheHill It will text your phone!!

Still waiting for the notification that it's dried and folded. I suppose AI would go on strike.
OverTheHill · 61-69, M
All three really. Depends on where I’m at in the house.
OverTheHill · 61-69, M
@nonsensiclesnail Multitasker!
@OverTheHill lol, I suppose sitting and typing is kind of multitasking.
iamelijah · 26-30, M
Phone. The only accessible thing for Internet. My laptop already dead like 4 years ago.
OverTheHill · 61-69, M
@iamelijah Use what works for sure.

Digital access, sometimes I can type with fingers and thumbs
OverTheHill · 61-69, M
@meJess I'm always faster typing with a traditional keyboard.

@itsok At least you don't have to get up if you are hungry!
I rarely use my phone for the same reason. And typing on it is a pain.
