Will the Smartphone take over the world?

Smartphones are everywhere! People don't even use them for the original purpose anymore! It's crazy! People use them to surf the Internet, check their email, post on Facebook and...oh yeah...talk on the phone! The screen size has gotten so large that they are called Phablets, a combination of the phone and the tablet.
What's next? Smartphone sales have already eclipsed the laptop in sales and companies have BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies in the workplace. I can go for weeks without using my Desktop computer because I can do virtually everything from my Smartphone. The only things that I can't do are burn CDs and save files to a USB drive. I could even use the USB drive if I had a converter.
It's amazing! Technically, I don't even need to burn CDs. I simply buy an MP3, save it to the cloud, and play it back from my Smartphone. Since I have Bluetooth in the car, I can play the song as though I made a CD! I can even play Pandora music with my Smartphone in my car because there is a dedicated Pandora setting on the car stereo system.
