I posted about this a little bit before here, but thought that this mobile culture knowledge mill would be the perfect place to expand upon it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we all exist in a mobile culture whether that be a phone, tablet, watch, or laptop. Not many people are tied to a desktop any more\u2026 other than my dad, who at the young age of 57 hates most technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a millennial, there are purposes for phone usage and purposes for computer usage. While phones can be used for almost anything, there are some things that just do not feel natural and often websites do not work due to the need to update a browser. Sometimes it is just easier to complete a task on a computer than it is on a mobile device.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Examples where computer is better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Booking a Trip\n
      \n
    1. While someone is able to book a train ticket on a phone, it is exponentially easier to do so from a computer as you can see a better look at the train seating options and even the train schedules are so much easier to see. There is a different level of confidence present when someone uses a computer than a phone. Due to the larger screen, you can be confident that you are choosing the best option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Course work.\n
        \n
      1. Being able to see everything clearly on the larger screen and being able to switch between tabs with ease makes it easier to ensure everything is being completed. WHile one can complete tasks from a mobile phone, it is clear that being able to work more efficiently is key.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Some elements of posting are not able to be completed when on a mobile phone. For example, when I tried to post something last week, I was not able to edit my original post or embed files. This frustration was not pleasing to say the least. It made me question why doing courses on mobile phones is even a thing if \u00bd of what you are to do is not able to be completed.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Design\n
          \n
        1. Designing anything on a mobile device can be challenging to say the least. Not only can you not move elements where they should go, there is often some difficulty in even typing what should go where or changing a colour of text. While I believe mobile applications help to make changes at a moment\u2019s notice, a laptop is a lot better given you can zoom in and out with ease and make minute changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          Examples where a mobile phone is better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Social Media\n
              \n
            1. While social media is great on a laptop, there is a lot more work that can be done on a mobile phone. From the ease of scrolling to the posting and sharing ease, a mobile device is the way to go.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Online Shopping\n
                \n
              1. While shopping online is fine on the computer, the fact that most stores have apps where card information is already stored makes item purchasing easier and more likely.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Apps like Amazon make it easy to search what I want, press purchase now, and then something arrives to your house the next day.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                \n

                Question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                What tasks do you tend to do more on the computer versus your phone or vice versa?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
