I&#x27;m pretty sure that Wittgenstein, while agreeing with your point about meaning being defined by use, would still argue that there&#x27;s a lot of unspoken confusion that comes from calling the smartphone a smartphone.<p>The first thing I did when opening this thread was Ctrl+F to see if anyone was suggesting it should be called a &quot;personal computer&quot;, because that&#x27;s what I&#x27;ve thought best described what the smartphone really has become.<p>Now, to suggest even trying to use that to refer to smartphones these days would be adding a much heavier does of confusion. But the insight seems fundamentally right to me.<p>Interesting article on the subject that brings up this point: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ben-evans.com&#x2F;benedictevans&#x2F;2015&#x2F;11&#x2F;7&#x2F;mobile-ecosystems-and-the-death-of-pcs" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ben-evans.com&#x2F;benedictevans&#x2F;2015&#x2F;11&#x2F;7&#x2F;mobile-ecosyste...</a>
