Mobile internet usage overtook desktop towards the end of 2016. Currently mobile usage sits at about 65% worldwide (slightly below 60% in the US).

Sure, but I assumed that was because of FB, Instagram, etc. Not browsing the web.

It will probably end up like C. P. Snow's The Two Cultures and for many never the twain shall meet. This shouldn't be surprising really given the diversity of people, views, etc.

As for myself, I use both regularly but for serious work the PC/large screen predominates. In recent years I've often found myself working on the PC with a collection of phones about me all with different but related information on them. It's akin to having multiple textbooks open on one's desk for reference. It's also a handy way of not cluttering up my PC screen with multiple windows/tabs open.
