I think you're mixing your personal preferences with generalisations there. While I too will never trade in my pooty, there's a whole generation out there that pretty much haven't touched a PC .. schools work on tablets, the entire course is on tablet not a book in sight let alone a PC.   And while I too might like looking at photos on a bigger screen, there's plenty and the rest of my family would be among them, that just never go near one.  Only time I see anyone is when they want to print something.  I have a decent printer, but she's not wifi or phone friendly :)
