      In general life? Sure. Students? Absolutely not, at least not once you get to college. Sure you can get away with only using school computer labs, but trying to do homework without a computer is borderline impossible these days. Most online homework sites either outright don’t work on mobile or are such a pain in the ass that they may as well not.

        To be fair, in my uni only the programming courses depend on using computers for homeworks. Most are still (thankfully!) on paper.

          I had basically the opposite experience. Probably 90% of my homework assignments required some sort of janky website to function.

        Some websites/apps just aren’t possible on mobile devices. Those people would need a capable screen. Like a tablet.

      For a while recently, I had my laptop not working properly so had to use just a phone before the needed part arrived. And after that, I refuse to believe someone could willingly and longterm live with just a phone as a primary device. No. This is actually frustrating.
