At least he'll know how to use a PC. Many kids and teens are completely hopeless with that nowadays due to only using touch screen devices. I'm still on the young side at 27 but am old enough to where I didn't get my first smartphone till I was 15 so I thankfully used laptops growing up instead of those.

A lot of jobs are also moving to tablets rather than PCs/laptops. When digital charting started in health care, it was laptops. Now, all the EMRs I use are primarily adapted for tablets. Although writing a narrative note or an email on a touch screen is a huge pain in the ass, and they don't always provide keyboard covers for tablets.

That does sound like a pain. I genuinely don't get using a phone to do stuff like browse the internet and consume media when at home due to things like the small screen size and typing being a lot slower on it but I guess it doesn't feel so bad if someone grows up with it. A tablet at least has a decent screen size.
