5 Technologies Your Smartphone Was Meant to kill but Hasn't

Almost everyone, especially the younger generations, own a smartphone or an iphone, and obviously it was going to replace some of the old technology that existed before smartphones were created.
This article listed five things, however, I disagreed with a few of them.

For example, replacing PC's? Really? A smartphone is going to replace a PC? I acknowledge that the smartphone is highly convenient to have around especially when one goes out and away from their computers and it's smaller than a laptop. However, I do not feel that it would actually kill off the PC because personally, I would rather have a 42inch monitor screen than stare at the tiny screen in the palm of my hand. Also, you cannot really multi-task on a smartphone. For example, watching a video while surfing on the Internet. Smartphones automatically go full-screen when playing a video, and even if we could have separate windows, it'd be painfully small to watch.

The article said that the smartphone was to kill off "calling with the phone". As much as people love to text, I do not think that it will ever take over the oral communication. Some people like talking on the phone, and hearing each other's voices. At times, calling is actually more convenient than sending a text.

I do not think that the smartphone is killing off anything; I actually think the smartphone is merely "improving" what we already have.
