Perhaps, though I think people's tastes and preferences have also changed. Not many millennials need/want a desktop pc. A laptop, tablet, or phone has basically taken their place.

There is still a lot of things you can't or should not do with a tablet or a laptop... I'm talking about people who were born in 1950s, 1960s or 1970s...
Microsoft did try to kill regular desktop applications already with Windows 8 when they started switching focus to Metro applications which have simplified user interface that works better with touch-screen displays. Keyboard and mouse still have more precision when it comes to things like drawing and photo manipulation. Not to mention open-source developers who need CPU power for compiling their software or people who like to build open-source software from sources because binaries keep breaking due to constant changes in Windows or Unix-based operating systems...

Oh yes I agree there are still use cases, but they are smaller than they once were. Typing is also a big one, it is difficult to type on a tablet or phone. However, there are some decent voice writers out there where you talk and it types, but still not quite as accurate as typing on the ol keyboard, at least not yet.

Typing foreign languages is actually easier with tablet or phone, because it shows the correct spelling of recently used words. Smaller the phone, easier is the typing as with small phones you can use both hands for typing without the risk of dropping the device.

Ha, yes I was making a joke. In general I still feel it is much easier to use a keyboard vs trying to type anything of significant length on any touch screen device. Even those with a projection keyboard. Though, I have been typing for decades now.

I know... I've been typing for about 36 years now... Some things I like doing on my phone or tablet, but other things I like to do with real keyboard. Sometimes I even plug in bigger keyboard to my laptop just to make typing smoother.
