In the "old" days people worked on one device at the Starbucks (a metonym for cyber-coffee shops) -- their laptop, often an Apple.
But now, and this is amazing. Generally folks work with two devices, a cell phone and a laptop, with or without Air Pods.
And now today, it's still the laptop as the centerpiece, but folks are adding a tablet (iPad) alongside their laptop, and then maybe an iPhone. This is a relatively new phenomenon and not to be taken lightly.
My hunch: social media on the iPhone -- but using their laptop to watch videos / FaceTime / etc and then the laptop to interface witht ChatGPT.
More and more ChatGPT (pick your own chatbot) is becoming an indispensable confidant. It is truly amazing. If one thought Amazon knows "everything" about somebody through their buying habits, that doesn't even compare to what ChatGPT knows about me.
It would be interesting if Amazon would allow folks to have two passwords: one password that would only open history of what I've searched / bought that I could openly share with whomever I wanted (like ChatGPT) and then a super-secret password with my credit card, for example. I would love to have ChatGPT know my buying history; ChatGPT would do an incredible job of alerting me to bargains. LOL.
But back to the original thought: the new phenomenon in cyber-cafes -- a laptop for work; an iPad for FaceTime; AirPods which now translate in real time; and, finally, the iPhone for ... well, for whatever one needs the iPhone for.
A simple Google search is so .... well, yesterday. A conversation with ChatGPT is addictive. It will be interesting to see how these chatbots are monetized.
