I just bought a new tablet, the Amazon Fire HD - probably the best of the breed. Only one thing doesn't work - Alexa. She still thinks she is in Seattle!
It competes with the Smartphone, that is a combination of a cell phone, and an Internet computer - with a touch interface.
The touch interface was a huge improvement for most users, and it has taken the industry by storm! Everyone wants the world in the palm of their hands - where they can touch it, and be entertained by it!
I also have a another device - a Windows 10 computer, with a keyboard - and a screen that can be detached, and used independently as a Windows 10 tablet! This is the wave of the future - devices that have everything but a cell phone. They don't need it, because WiFi is everywhere.
It won't be long before the cell phone will be replaced with the internet phone - where free calls can be made to anywhere - even including video!
Meanwhile, software developers continue to use their laptops to do their heavy lifting. These are the guys, working quietly behind the scenes - that are remaking the world!
It's too early to tell if this will be a better world - but it will be a different one. Of that - you can be sure!
