Always had a cheap desktop computer and never thought a phone was worth it. Is there a reason people like me should reconsider?

    For 95+% of people, literally everything they would use a computer for personally can be done with a phone. Phones are also replacing a bunch of stuff in various job related fields. Why have a static computer with a barcode scanner when you can just mount a scanner to a phone and have it portable? Why have a giant beefy cash register when you can trivially swipe a card and accept contactless payments on a phone instead? They even print paper receipts with some of them, if you want one.
