Internet question

What do you use most to access the internet: A desk/laptop, a mobile device, or something else?

A laptop or a notebook by leaps and bounds..

Desktop. I use mobile devices as read-mostly devices, news, audio books, music, podcasts, maps for driving, maybe the occasional "Just landed, on my way home" SMS message, etc. To me, most mobile devices just aren't that well suited for content creation like e-mail, software development, report/proposal writing, etc. Sure you can get almost-full-size keyboards, but then that's too much junk to carry with you. I have a laptop I use on business travel only, virtually never at home.

most of the web surfing is at home or at work ...


I'll use my phone however when at work to check Facebook Messenger / KIK / What'sup

Desktop, laptop, android tablet, phone in that order.

Laptop, tried the phone once, way too little and cumbersome.

I, too, find the phone cumbersome for anything longer than a quick text. I rarely use my phone for anything internet other than looking up the name of a song or a factoid that gets stuck in my head. I'll surf a bit on the tablet just because that's what's in my hands most of the time. but for real internet, email, and social media it's the laptop hands down. I don't even have email set up on my phone or tablet.

Now for things regarding my various community volunteer activities I would be lost and incapable without my phone and its ability to allow me access to the webz and most especially email along with google docs.

What's a desktop?

 

[RoseRed]

Laptop and phone.

 

[GWguy]

Laptop for forums, email, banking, just about all of my Internet access.

Phone for texting, quick email checking, quick searches, nav mapping (I get lost a lot...).

 

[Grumpy]

Desktop for 99%
Tablet, rarely
Phone - actually calling people..reply to texting if answer is y,n or k, otherwise call back

 

[Merlin99]

iPad almost exclusively.

Typically, I find that this is mostly age oriented. The younger crowd uses cell phone almost exclusively. Older generations use desktops/laptops.

Judging by the 85/15 split in the poll (as of this post) I would assume that most who voted were probably in the 50 y.o. and older category.
