I dunno, the PC itself has probably had more overall impact, but on a consumer level, smartphones are probably bigger I guess.

Smartphones have more impact. Smartphones are shipped in the billions each year and for most people on the planet it's their first and primary computer. PCs only ship in the 150 million per year range.

Again, agreed on consumer. On society, definitely the PC as they've transformed pretty much every business and almost every home in the world. Like PC's have been shipping my entire life (approx 40 years), while smartphones (touch screen iPhone like etc) have only been around for the last 14.

And how are all smartphone apps developed?
