How do you do most of your computing?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37331points) October 13th, 2017

I have 3 devices that are computers: a Dell XPS 13 laptop, a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet, and a Pixel XL smartphone. I can do computing on all of them.

Interestingly, I use different devices for different tasks.

I used to use the laptop for a great deal of computing. These days, it’s pretty limited. I only use it when I’m typing something long. I used to do all my banking on it, but my bank upgraded their app, so now I’m doing that on my tablet.

My tablet has become my device of choice. I do almost all my financial computing on it. The apps for my bank, each of my credit cards, and other institutions are all very good. They can do everything that I could do on the website on my PC. I use my tablet for most of my fluthering. (I use the desktop computer when I’m on the site during work.) I scroll through Facebook on it. I chat with friends on Messenger on my tablet. I do my email on it, too.

I type using the on-screen keypad. I don’t have any kind of external keypad attached. The on-screen one is good enough for my needs.

I use my phone for a few limited apps that I choose to only access from the phone. There are 2 gay dating apps I use, and I choose to keep them on my phone and not add them to my tablet.

I keep all my documents and pictures, etc., in the cloud, and I love it. All my documents are in Microsoft One Drive. I use One Note for lots of notekeeping. All my pictures are in Google Photos. My Pixel phone came with unlimited storage there. I love having stuff in the cloud. I can access everything from any device with connectivity.

What do you use? Do you find yourself using different devices for different uses? Do you like computer technology?
