Yep, us desktop PC users are feeling like an endangered species: 40%
global web traffic compared to 58% for mobile devices (78% of which is
by Android users).  Considering the toy computer it is, small display,
and lack of good input devices (unless you Bluetooth a keyboard and
mouse), I dislike web surfing on a phone.  Still, it beats lugging a
laptop or notebook on a vacation.  A big smartphone in a belt holster
beats toting around a bag with a laptop.

There must be some age break for those that do and don't suffer
nomophobia.  Some folks have withdrawl symptoms if they don't have their
phone on them all the time.
