This is a quick photo I snapped from the car window when we were driving in downtown Toronto the other day. Can you see the old church in the background next to the modern skyscraper? I thought it was a nice contrast on a sunny, cold winter's day.
Husband M noticed this article in the newspaper the other day. It sounds like the Desktop computer is virtually dead, and laptops are all the rage now. The article doesn't say this, but it seems people are using their smart phones and tablets more than ever. Hmm. Maybe they will replace laptops. Talk about evolution. right?

Lovely photo! Yes, Technic is evolving very fast! Valerie
I really love and need my desktop for the photo book work that I do. I sure hope they don't stop making them.
You can see a similar contrast in Melbourne where the spire of St Paul's sits alongside the city skyscrapers.
Have you by any chance noticed the date of that article Christine - Jan 2009
I read recently that desk top computers are making a come back because users find they can do more with them than with smaller devices.
Cathy thanks for noticing, I guess I found the wrong article that hubby spoke of, lol.
Really, Gigi, interesting.
Well, I'm certainly outdated! I use a desktop computer and I don't have a smart phone. Technology changes rapidly, but I don't keep up with it. Only because I haven't had a need to.
I have both a desktop and a laptop. When I needed to replace the desktop a couple of years ago, our 'guy' tried to convince me not to get one. However, I think they're more powerful and easier to repair.
My laptop, already 5 years old, is extremely powerful and does lots of great things; however I know the newer MacBook Pros are even mightier. That said, I now do lots of work on my iPhone. I can take my photos with it and upload them immediately to social media where I seem to live most of my life lately.
When I upgraded my iPhone the last time, the young salesman told me he uses his iPhone now to write his papers for college as he can type while he walks to class. Everything is being sent to the 'cloud' so not too much printing going on either.
I use my destops computer everyday

Recently, my desktop bit the big hairy one. When it did, I conducted much research and went with 12.2 sized-tablet and logitech keyboard.
Love it.
I don't think they'll ever replace them. When I need to seriously type, I have to have a real keyboard. I use a USB keyboard for my laptop.
Beautiful photograph! I love the contrast between the old and the new. I hope desktops don't get completely phased out, I much prefer them to laptops...
You do find some interesting articles Christine.
I'm still using a desktop computer and I also have a smart phone to keep in touch with cyberspace when I am out and about.
