Why not? It’s not going to be cost effective to discard a usable computer, of course. But hen your phone can be hooked up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and the phone’s internet can be used to stream the remote computer, why have a computer? Or if your phone could give you the same interface as your current computer?
I will personally most likley always own a “ordinary” computer, but I wonder if a majority of the populace will.

Back to the old ways… But I doubt it, a running computer is so cheap to produce it doesn’t really make sense.

Well, your phone is the computer I’m talking about, it’s insanely powerful already IMO, so most stuff can happen locally.
