21 years ago, when I bought my first true computer (the 1st real one was an Atari 800 XL, lol), there was only ONE available question: Mac or PC? Then, 15 years later, the choice changed: desktop or laptop? Except pure gamers, everyone had a laptop.

Nowadays, the question is: Apple smartphone or Android smartphone? And apps. I wonder who still buy a PC.

Before that, the main interest of the internet was that everybody could do and write EVERYTHING, while staying totally anonymous. Now, the only important thing is that everyone is proud to be visible in social networks. And needs tons of "friends".

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm afraid I'm VERY old. That was my modest touch of nostalgy.  

My customers all want Desktop PC's for the larger screen, some have tablets too but their PC's are their main and most important device, which is handy for me as it brings in work 

Android over Apple any day of the week 

Social networks ? what are they  I've heard of them before but wouldn't ever use them.

I must be getting old 

I get a bit tired of Facebook some days. I only have a few friends 

These people that have hundreds of so called friends must never keep up with all the junk that gets posted. I could live without it quite happily, but I do like seeing my sister's or Dave's photos when they appear.

The FB thing that I do like is the  fan pages - I get a lot of interesting things from those, but even some of them just post far too much and too frequently for me.

So true, some of those share this things really annoy me too. Especially the share this and you will come into wealth - are people really that dumb ? 

Thanks everyone for your informations about what you do with your computer. Glad to see that some normal people still exist.

BTW I forgot to say that my main character in Second Life is on Facebook, and myself is active on Tweeter (with a fake name coming from Second Life...).

RL and SL are beginning to become more and more complicated.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm virtual or real, dead or alive (I guess I'm just old).

Hello Snowcrash! I got an Asus Transformer Book T100 (not expensive at all) some months ago, to verify that Windows 8 was a crazy thing (I don't understand why) and to play with a touchscreen.

Finally I think this little thing will become my main computer. Maybe I look ridiculous, it's just a (modern) netbook. But I don't need more anymore. It's exciting to play with the SSD, the microSHD card and the HDD. And the CPU is amazing.

My little tribute to the future.

Ah Sybershot, you're a tablet user, you too. In my case, for many reasons, I prefer to use the Asus as a laptop but sometimes a tablet can be fun. Bad habit of an old person.

I always thought that the Surface works with Windows RT, but I discover now that the true Windows is the OS. Great computer indeed.
