do you guys think tablets and smart phones are replacing laptops and computers?🙋😊?

Yes and no.

There was a time when the only way to check your email on a train or watch a few videos would be to open up your laptop. Tablets and cellphones are a whole lot more convenient for menial tasks such as those, so in terms of being a quick way to access the Internet, smart phones and tablets have begun replacing laptops and computers.

But in terms of being able to do something productive, such as creating a video (editing), working with 3D software, writing a word document or a book, creating a song, playing video games (quality ones, such as Fallout New Vegas as opposed to Candy Crush), etc... laptops and computers are still supreme. Anyone who does any of that stuff knows that either it is not possible or annoying to do on a tablet/phone.

Tablets/phones are slower than computers, harder to use when working with a complicated interfaced, keyboards are usually annoying to use for long periods of time, and there is usually a memory limitation (as opposed to the multiple harddrives a laptop or desktop could use).

So in terms of being a quick way to access the Internet, tablets and phones are more convenient and thus have almost taken over.

But laptops/desktops are still the best option when it comes down to getting things done, and aren't disappearing any time soon.

Best answer if you liked this explanation :P

I think that smartphones and tablets are more convenient for using social media, surfing the web, watching YouTube videos, or listening to music. But those are simple things that are faster than going to get a computer and logging into your accounts and all that.

For doing more complex things like taking online college classes or making a powerpoint for school a computer is faster to type on and smartphones aren't really made to do that kind of thing. Doing video editing (like movies) is something that will definitely be hard for a smartphone to take over. That kind of thing you will need a HUGE amount of memory and flash storage which is something that smartphones don't have. A computer that a video editor uses would probably have about 64GB of RAM/memory and the iPhone for example have 1GB of RAM/memory. Ram is basically how fast your computer is. How fast it shuts down/powers off, how fast things open up, how you can have multiple things open without you're computer slowing down and things like that.

So if you're doing something simple like just messing around on the internet or listening to music a phone is definitely way more convenient than using a computer but for those more complex things a computer is the better thing to use.

I think that people just buy stuff that they don't really need and don't know about. People buy laptops just to Instagram or smartphones just because they think they have to. Back in the late 1990's it was palm pilots. Now it's tablets. You could say that one device is replacing another because people are buying it. I would think otherwise: that you can't really replace something you never actually used.
