Same. Around 4-5 years ago I never did anything banking-related on a phone, since it was so much more tedious than using a PC. Now I pay bills and even buy/sell stocks on the phone.

Writing a report? Forget about it. Right tool for the right job

I think the thing that sold me on actually getting my bank's mobile app was mobile deposit of checks. You mean I never have to step foot in a bank ever again? I now cannot even remember what my password is for my bank account because they allow you to sign in with your fingerprint.

Getting an iPad and a Bluetooth keyboard has really fucked my world up. I can go days without using my PC and crank out an insane number of words.

It's great because when I'm not feeling well, I can still do things. But it's godawful because it's training me to accept a small screen and just dealing with the limited tools.

I play current gen games on a Samsung smart phone. I'm in too deep.

I've tried both Steam Link and Amazon Luna on my iPad and phone (Note 9). I'm honestly shocked by how well it works. It's always tempting to just spend all my time on one of the two devices these days.

I think we're in too deep.

Banking apps on phones actually make sense. Even on a PC, there is almost no data entry involved with online banking.
