So when those people who only have smart phones need to update their resume? Print it out?
I can't imagine not having a PC.
I'm not in the "smartphone replaces computer" camp. I have a laptop and a desktop. But I can print wirelessly from my iPhone.
But to compose the resume on a phone seems like pure torture.
Ask any millennial the last time they sat down at a desktop to compose an email...
Smartphones have drastically cut down on the desktop usage in this country. However, there will always be a need for a desktop/laptop platform for media editing, research, and writing.
Do my kids and their friends count as millenials? They all use computers on a daily basis and they all wanted upgraded laptops for birthday/christmas this year. My daughter's high school basically requires access to a computer and a solid chunk of her school work involved computer time. She also had an end-of-school party the other day with about a dozen kids showing up between the ages of 14 and 17. All but 3 brought a laptop with them since they had planned a game night. Of course they all have smart phones too, as do my other kids and my wife and myself. And they get used a lot. But we are very far from the cell phone actually taking the place of a computer outright.

I'm on holiday in thailand at the moment and the fact that I have to use my mobile's internet to give my Macbook internet access via hotspot speaks volume.
Having said that you still can't beat typing on a physical keyboard though.
You should try the new Magic Keyboard. It has numpad too.
When you pair a mobile device with a bluetooth keyboard, it does become something like a computer, but it kinda depends on what you do with it. Instant Hotspot really is one of the most handy things about mobile tech. But it still does not replace wide bandwidth connections.
I mean they released an iMac with 27 inches display that supports 5K ? What are we even talking about!
Nah there are older techs that provide cellular network without mobile phones small as flashdisks.

Basically, smartphones can easily replace desktops for those users who always only needed something like a smartphone. Between 2000 and 2010, hordes of people bought proper desktop computers to read email, MSN message their friends, check sports box scores, and occasionally look up the address of that Mexican place that has great chimichongas. They didn't need 99% of features offered by a desktop, but back then, you had no choice. Now, they have a much more convenient device that lets them do all that, without all the extras they don't need.
People who needed a desktop and actually used their desktop 15 years ago will still use desktops. In the past few days, I've used my computer to play League of Legends, to work on a 168,000-row Excel file, to record music through a mixing interface hooked up to my computer, to send resumes out, to draw a map in an open-source Photoshop equivalent that is 15000x15000 pixels, and helped some guy from Melbourne translate some old baptismal records from Ukrainian by looking at a scanned microfilm of a church book. I don't think I can do any of these on the phone, but I don't think any millennials do stuff like this. It's hard to have time for anything, really, when Instagraming everything takes up almost every free second you have.
