    I don’t understand how people do things like shopping on their phone. I mean if you’re only buying one or two items, sure, but if you’re doing grocery pickup at Walmart or something how do you even function on a screen that small? You can’t do any kind of comparison without flipping back and forth between multiple tabs.

    Mobile is fine for reading articles, instant messaging, etc., but there are a lot of things that are absolutely better on a laptop.

      Does Walmart work like IKEA? Cause over there I find it a lot easier to just scan the barcode and view similar items through the app, personally. I would hate to have to browse through it all on my laptop (or phone for that matter) just to shop in person, but quickly scanning the barcode to find “related items” or similar items etc, I found to be very useful

      That’s exactly how i feel, too. Some years ago i went back to school. I was about 10 years older than anyone else and was flabbergasted to see that people are actually shopping clothes/shoes on their phones.
