would mobile internet replace computers?

Yes will be replaced completely. Because, easy to carry, easy to use, easy to reach.

Hi Dear Hotsummer! I agree with you that mobile internet is very convenient as we can access the internet from any place. But I think this can't replace the computer for the reasons given below: 1. You can't excess the internet from the places where your service provider don't have services to support. 2. It can't provide the same speed from every place while on move. 3.Mobile internet though may down load the data, it's utility would be limited as we don't have big storage in the mobile like in computer. 4. I always find it difficult to type on the mobile Key Pad and the efficiency is hampered on mobile phone! 5. Computer is better for aged people like me who can have a clear vision on the monitor, which other wise becomes bit difficult on the mobile screen. 6. We always have the problem of battery back up as the mobiles can't be used for a longer time on the battery. This problem is not seen on the computer as we are directly connecting it to the mains. 7. It is not practicable to go through the down loads like pages from excel or Adobe, as there is lot of text in a particular formatted design. 8. We have limitation of the screen size. Every time we need to adjust the screen i.e going to a particular site and zooming it,which is not required in the computer. 9. The mobile inter netting is bit expensive than the connections we are getting at our places through the cables. 10. Lastly we don't get disturbed by the calls and SMS in the Computer, which often we get on the mobile phones! These are simply my opinion about the mobile phone internet ! Thanks for the discussion! I enjoyed participating in it!

Even though we can now access internet through various facilities like the ipad or mobile phones but nothing can replace the many facilities available through computers. I still prefer using computers to go online.

As computers get smaller & smaller, I do believe someday computers as we know it will be replaced with something we can carry easily with us. It didn't take that long before a room sized computers were replaced with desktop computers. And not too long after desktop computer came out, laptops came out. Recently, even smaller computers called "netbooks" are gaining popularities. And with Ipads & soon to come out "playbook" by RIM that can do a lot of major functions that computers can do, I don't see why we need to be tied down to bulky computers anymore.

Yes, it always with me anywhere and anytime. I even updated my mobile site trough mobile, so I can say that I make money from my mobile. If you know the way, mobile not only for do like what other do!!

Yes I have tried using mobile internet and I have to say that it really is convenient. You can connect to the web anywhere you may be. However, I think that having internet with your mobile device and having it to your main computer is totally different. It is good to do searches all around but I believe that mobile devices has certain limitations. There are a lot of things that you can do with your computer that your mobile device cant. If I would have a gadget that I may bring anywhere to connect to the internet, I think that I would go for a notebook. At least with it, its just like having a real but mini version of your home computer.

in my opinion is impossible right now!!So if you refer to devices like ipad for me are really unusuful:they are just the e-reader where you can install the iphone-ipod touch apps..so?where is the deal? as regards mobile phones..mmh..they are not as usuful,flexible like a laptop or desktop as well.. id on't know in what way people normally use their computers,laptops,desktops and so on but if you want create contents you need a laptop or desktop other mobile devices are unusuful because you can just reach passive contents...so you wouldn't be passive all your life like my grand-mother...

Hey hot summer, Yeah I think mobile devices are going to replace computers well destops which will be not as common in the future I think haha . Laptops yeah and maybe some destops. For movie makers they need a lot of data and Hard Drive space and because they need power. I honestly think tablets like the iPad and andriod tablets and other tablets will advance over time and get very powerful that desktops won't nbd needed anymore or laptops. It will look like we are only carrying screens haha or huge touch screen cell phones. They are even making cell phones powerful processors like the iPad like the sprint HTC EVO 4G phone beautiful powerful device that is extremely protable with a great size screen. As Internet speeds increase and devices get more powerful and does everything our laptop does but at a portable level and gets the job done. It will replace the old. For example everyone had brooms and mops now they have vaccums and sweepers steam mops. That are replacing the old with better new stuff that takes less time and gets the job done right and faster. I have a iPad and Iam using it right now and there isn't not one day I don't get on to check on my facebook get on MYLOT check my email watch a movie on Netflix see some tv shows on comcast. Play some games update my resume take notes. Text people. So much more. With the newer iPad 2 coming out which means mo power faster and cameras which means chatting with the love ones haha lol. I love my iPad but the iPad 2 is gong to be amazing haha.. And I really want the new macbook pro I have to get my hands on one of those haha

i guess so. we can see about two or three years next maybe. but there is one thing that cell phone can't beat computer, its memory. and also computer make our work easier than cell

Mobile internet is more convenient but like the one user said, it does have limitations, as you can't play on the gaming sites like pogo, because cell phones don't have java that is needed to play them. However, flash is there to watch videos and play flash games, but nothing java. I do have a laptop, however, I don't take it outside or anywhere I go like I do my phone, as it is so convenient. I really don't think that cell phones will replace computers unless, they can do everything that a computer can do, and as of yet they can't, but who knows, it might just be right around the corner. There are tablets out there now, and they are bigger than a cell phone, and probably nice too, but I still prefer my laptop over those, and bedsides the tables are quite expensive right now, and I can't afford any of them, as I just don't have much money. Take care, and have a very good day.

Mobiles are certainly easy to carry around we can connect to net from any where but we can't type on it as fast as we do using key board touch screen mobile too take some time to get a hang of those and to type special characters they take some efforts where as if you are good with typing using key board you can do all those thing lot faster i am using both type of connection every now and then if we keep staring on the mobile continuously our eyes start to feel the pain where as in pc you can just look here and there and type if you know the keys

Surely mobile internet will replace computers very quickly....

But the limitation of screen size, cost and effectiveness of PC/Laptop remains a big concern. IPAD and similar gadgets are very costly and out of competition with PCs. And the mobiles phones have very small screen size which can't be used for every application. So i don't think mobile will replace internet, rather they both will compliment to each other.

With the fast pacing changes being made in every gadget nowadays, I can say that this is possible. And because it is mobile, you can use it anywhere and is handy too. It works as a phone too. I believe the only drawback would be the stability of the internet connection, since mobile internet depends to the signal of the network provider.

Although this technology is in its infancy but they are indeed gaining popularity over time and I believe they will be another good alternative for browsing the net. As I can see the much cheaper versions to be a bit crude and slow but I think they will improve over time. I guess the laptops are losing their popularity when tablets are becoming popular and I think this will become a new trend in computing online.

A friend of mine has been using mobile Internet on his laptop with a dongle, and it is painfully slow in loading webpages. I would say that I have had faster dial-up connection in the past. He has now moved over to fixed broadband in his house and the difference is huge.. Unless there is some drastic improvement, mobile internet will just stay around for convenience when people are away from home from time to time. _Derek

I think not replace like keyboard replace typewriter..but more of combine or both technologic merge with each other.YEs imagine your typical desktop pc now is avialble in your pocket and bag is wonderful plus able to made calls and such.Slowly and surely it will happen , i think the technology is available now , but the industry player planning to produce gadgets for profits first and bring down the price so more common people can by like Handphone.

It is very possible that mobile internet will replace computers already. Very possible. Now that there are mobile phones with wifi. My mobile is wifi capable,and I net search on my phone when I am away from my laptop.

Mobile devices are convenient. But to do business I need access to software, spreadsheets and letter head as well. While on the move I can get important communications, but very limited. I do notice the kids spend more time texting than they spend actually talking.

In my country, the mobile cellular and other mobile device became new lifestyle.As a case in 2004 most of my friends use PC to do their work or task, but now most of them use laptop to do it. They think that with laptop is easier and cheaper, because they can access it by hotspot. Also there is a phenomenon the people in my country use cellular phone to access internet. The booming of this style happened after the social network popularity is increase.
