Laptop is best because I know 'blind touch', Didge. When I am dabbling with poetry or writing something creative I prefer laptop because I want my ideas to flow spontaneously. But iPad is easy to hold and i get lazy when I'm on couch so that's when iPad is handy, smart phone.....yes of course for keeping in touch with distant friends via whatsup mostly.
I also prefer the laptop and, partly, for the same reason. Once my thoughts begin to flow I need to be able to keep up with them and when I get creative my fingers fly. (I can always fix the errors later.) I have a tablet but it's too slow and my smart phone is great but I wouldn't want to write much on it.
I only have one of the three, so I guess I have to say "laptop," but I never use it anymore. The sound is terrible and I don't like any laptop mouse setup that I've ever seen, so I always wind up using a remote mouse.
I prefer my smart phone. Literally everything I need to do or want to do is through my mobile device. Whether I'm checking my bank account, paying bills, writing a creative story, surfing answermug, listening to music, or sliding through social media, everything goes through my smart phone. The only thing I use my laptop for is streaming through Netflix and gaming.
It can get annoying, I'll admit. I bought a cheap bluetooth keyboard just for that reason. If I'm at a place where I can use it, all I have to do is turn on the phone's bluetooth and the keyboard. Bam! Easy typing.
Actually, I do believe you. I didn't even know they existed until several weeks ago. I was looking for a USB to microUSB adapter so I could plug up a regular keyboard (which actually can work) when I stumbled on the bluetooth keyboard accidentally.
When here? The fastest navigating is on a computer/laptop. The tablet works somewhat in between laptop and a smartphone. I try to avoid using the phone, but do look inside when on the go.
They're handy when you're out and about. The reason I asked the question is that a lot people seem to prefer them and I wondered how they managed to get any detailed input. I've been using a keyboard allmy working life but I'm painfully slow -- and clumsy -- with a smartphone.
Hmm. It is about practice, although some of the stuff is still way easier on the laptop than on the phone. Or... I'm just also an old soul. Hmm. I should maybe better go and have a nap. Lol
I know a lot of people who feel that way. They are gimmicks as far as I'm concerned fun, but inefficient and not nearly as useful or productive. Nothing beats a keyboard.
I had three older siblings: a brother 15 years older, a sister 13 years older, and another sister 9 years older. And the latter is as Latter. (She married a guy named Noel Latter.)
