Idle musing: We use the term “computer” to describe machines that we all have (at least if you’re accessing Mastodon here) but the term doesn’t feel so appropriate anymore for what the device represents for most of us. And in the US, we often call our mobile computers “phones” even though the phone part is a small part of its overall purpose. So few things have become as ubiquitous and essential a companion as the mobile/handy/smartphone yet so inadequately termed.
