Are you more of a dad or a mom person?

A trick question if ever there was one. And surely, as in life itself, it is not a matter of loving one more than the other but of being worthwhile in their fair coexistence. Indeed, we are not talking about people now but about dad. phone or mom's tablet. Who are you more of?

The logical thing is that, basically, we all respond in unison: dad. Clearly, without the phone we are nobody and without the tablet, well… The general tendency is to think that with a mobile device Enough is enough and the clearest option is the smartphone. Whatever the case, calling someone or sending a message is still more convenient using a phone than using a tablet or even a 2 in 1 like the phablets (tablet and phone hybrid).

In any case, what tends to be valued is what can be obtained from greater benefit at the lowest cost possible and, for the moment, the mobile wins by a landslide. However, tablet sales are increasing year after year. The latest report published by the analyst firm IDC reveals a growth of 6.51% for this year to reach 10% 233 million units sold.

These are not insignificant numbers, but they are far from both the initial forecasts (set at a growth of 12%) and the volume of phones sold that reached the 300 million units at the end of the second quarter of this year. But when analyzing both consumer and social trends, perhaps the biggest competitor of tablets is not the phone.

With their similarities, Mobile and tablet share space, coexist in a certain harmony. However, it seems that there is another device that must fear for its position in the market and it is none other than the computer. If desktop devices already suffered the irruption of the computers laptops at a reasonable price, it seems that tablets have now arrived to completely ruin the existence of some and others.

The tablet has entered the market by the fastest route, the one that every invention yearns for. It has entered our homes and our lives, taking over an element as important in our homes as the sofa, and the computer has been relegated to its simple use in the professional field. With this, The tablet takes over our leisure time and the computer is reserved for workAnd we all know that leisure is sacred, so it seems that this war already has a clear winner in the long run. And the figures prove it, almost as many tablets are sold as computers.
