This is total rubbish.

Most 'smart phone' have 2" screens but lots of people watch movies and increasingly live sport on mobile phones.

Computer have always be overpowered and under used. In Brazil, they are installing a 385,000 seat Linux system using virtualisation. Each 'normal' PC is shared with up to 5 people and there is no major different in performance.
