Let’s be honest – I can’t create on a tablet or a phone. I can only consume information, or have simple interactions. I struggle to write an email that is more than 3 lines long. Thus when I read that mobile devices are taking over the traditional PC, I also read that most people probably don’t create, and if they ditch their PC, they remove the means to create the more easily.
I can’t create without my traditional laptop or PC. I need a keyboard to efficiently write my blogs and books. I need a mouse to create my powerpoint slides or work efficiently in Photoshop. In summary, I need some accessories to enhance my creative productivity that are absent from mobile devices.
The move to mobile is once again the demonstration that most people prefer just receiving broadcast and reading and viewing stuff created by others. That’s not an issue by itself, because that can be expected. It is an observation. It is also on what Facebook and many other sites and apps are counting on.
Just make sure you don’t diminish your ability to create. Keep the means around, like a traditional laptop.
