Funny how we're now at a time where we're moving past computers. I thought this was going to be about how you don't need a computer at home anymore because you can do so much on tablets, phones, watches, and TVs.

When the Apple Watch with LTE was announced, I wondered when people will start to have a watch but no phone. When the iPad got LET, senior execs shifted to them and raved about the experience. It worked for them because they mostly just did email and a few other things, unlike worker bees who need a traditional computer OS. I wonder if a similar thing will happen with higher-ups foregoing phones for watches.

My guess is that in the next 3-4 years, we'll start seeing people talking about how amazing it is to go around without a phone. Perhaps a tablet for doing "real work" and a watch for everything else.
