I know the title may sound absurd, but I'm thinking that they indeed ARE.
By this statement, I'm asking if the use of portable electronic devices like Smartphones and tablets are merely there for the convenience of people to visit the places they already do, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and whatever boards they already post on - to the point of which they don't bother discovering new areas like they once did. They've routinely started visiting the same places until those places run dry, thus there are fewer successful places of the Internet, because many are withering and dying. There isn't much of an influx of new people, either, and that's because the younger folks who have Smartphones mainly use them for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and those things as opposed to finding new places to post to pass time.
So, I ask this. Are Smartphones partially the cause of this dropping activity outside of core sites? Are people reducing the places they go to because they can check their favorites in bed and they don't feel like getting online? Does a majority of younger people merely use Smartphones for social network checking and barely use the Internet for message boards at all?
I'm just curious, as this has been on my mind due to all the failing sites I've seen recently. I'm happy to be at an active place and I do hope I'm not cursed, but this is just intriguing stuff...
