#2That looks like a guy who's cracked open a few baby skulls and swallowed some DMT if I've ever seen one.
Oh and who the fuck cares.

#3Seriously, who cares?
First, the idiosyncrasies of the rich and powerful are way less important than the amount of space given to them in the press, even for this extremely short article. Very few of these "Jack doesn't use a computer" and "Tim Cook wakes up at 4 o'clock" are actually useful, aside from the voyeur aspect. For all we know Jack has some pretty brutal RSI and Siri is the only way that he can actually type, or whatever.
It's pointless, is what I'm saying.
And with more snark: it's not like he's running all those companies well. Twitter is a garbage fire that's probably propped up by bots that Twitter is ignoring for their ad revenue. Everyone I know resents what Twitter does to their mental health and wants to spend less time on it and talking about it, myself certainly included.

#5CEOing is about making business decisions, not inventing and creating stuff, so why would you need a computer.

Downvoted for writing a generally ill-considered response.
Regarding whether or not Jack Dorsey is running these companies well: Square is up a nice 5x over the last five years. That's a $32b market cap now. It's a big company. Their credit card readers are _everywhere_.
Twitter is more controversial, sure, but it's certainly been improved over the last two years. I actually quite like using it.

#7A smartphone is a computer.
I'm increasingly only using my phone for everything, with a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard for coding or typing. My PC is quickly becoming just a gaming console and will probably soon be put into a car sim style setup then my phone will be my only computer for everything else.
Nothing fancy phone wise, S7 Edge. It can take USB sticks, wireless keyboard and mouse, and almost everything I do is just in Firefox or Dropbox.

Computers are pretty useful for communicating.
