I suspect by that time that cell phone docking stations will be widespread- we're already seeing some of the first attempts at making them, so it just seems like a logical evolution.
If you aren't aware of what I'm referring to, I mean a device (and operating system) that lets you use your cell phone like a desktop PC; connected to a monitor, keyboard, and etc.
I'm getting up in my years. I lived through Vietnam, the Cold War, Desert Storm, Desert Shield, then the invasion of the Middle East and now the invasion into the Ukraine.
I saw typewriters go from a manual standup model to electric and now keyboards. I've seen cell phones go from approximately 8 inches long by about 4 inches wide and around 1 to 2 inches thick to what they are today.
Computer monitors that used vacuum tubes, computers go from large rooms to a small case to a smartphone. Pictures so grainy it was had to decipher what the image was.
I watched the Space Race between USA and Russia on TV. Speaking of TV, my first TV purchase was black and white, then color pots on the back of the TV to adjust the GBR combination.
And the list of new inventions, wars, insurgencies, goes on and on. It's time for me to sit back, relax and let the youngsters take over. Yes, youngsters. I'm old enough to be a Great Grandfather to most of you and maybe even Great Great Grandfather. I'm old, tired and I'm done. I did my duty to God and my Country. Now, you do yours.

AFAIK, Microsoft made the first docking phones. I don't remember the model, but it was more than 5 years ago. It was a Windows 10 phone that you could dock and the docking station would run like a laptop/desktop computer, only using the specs of the phone plus a keyboard, computer screen and mouse at the station.
Not a new invention by far, I remember back in 2003 at the university were I studied we used UNIX terminals, not far off from a docking station type deal.
Anyways, to add to ...
