@JeffreyMinich Who said dead? Not @fmanjoo. Not Steve Jobs. Not me. It’s just that a million things I used to do on laptops are now done better and faster on iPads and, in some cases, smartphones. There will still be some tasks for some people for which laptops (and desktops) will be best. — PolitiTweet.org

I’d add that laptops that try to double as tablets don’t cut it for me. They’re too bulky and lack the great selection of tablet software the iPad offers. Whether Jobs’s car vs truck analogy is the best for you, his point remains: PCs & Macs are needed for less and less. — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless @fmanjoo @dcseifert Remember that Jobs grounded that car-truck analogy the early days of the auto industry when agriculture was dominant and farmers needed trucks, city folk cars. Still, you’re right about current trends. So pick a different metaphor. I still maintain that the trend he saw holds. — PolitiTweet.org
