If I went alternative to laptop, desktop, and tablet computers

My laptop is hanging by a thread. I use free summer seasonal wi-fi at my apt for my laptop. I am in no wise willing to pay for internet service. I found out newer laptops (which I only would be willing to have purchased) wont pick up the 2.4GHz frequency range w/ wireless ac instead of 802.11n. I also think it is wrong to have to keep updating drives and etc. I will be done w/ these inventions: laptop, desktop, and tablet.
Alternatives can be as follows...
_Jacking off to free online porn via computer would become jacking off to free imagination!
_Using computer calculator would become using smartphone calculator!
_Getting on a message board on computer would become getting on a message board on smartphone!
_Using search engine on computer would become using search engine on smartphone!
_Writing notes on a computer would become verbalizing notes on a tape recorder!
_Looking at saved nude pics on a computer would become looking at same disc saved nude pics on a portable DVD player!
_Religiously watching t.v. shows on hulu would become religiously watching t.v. shows released out on purchase-able DVD w/ a portable DVD player!
_Using computer disc drive connected to computer to watch DVDs would become using portable DVD player to watch DVDs!
I currently do not have:
1. a tape recorder 2. a portable DVD player
But a new GOOD laptop, desktop, or tablet would cost more than those two items.
Once this laptop goes I'm going alternative!
A good question I have for all U is...
Are U able to go alternative to the laptop, desktop, and tablet computers?

You know a smartphone is a type of computer, and you do need to regularly update it, right?

I have to have a cell phone at least for a program I am in. So it might as well be a smartphone. One I use hasn't required an update since the day I was given it. It is a verizon LG Extravert 2.

If you haven't had to approve an update, then it's updated automatically. Software has to be updated, even if it's just to patch security vulnerabilities.

Apple and Microsoft computer product devices and softwares seem always to have to have updates.

No, I can and have used it for more than the semi-independent program I am in. I have used it before for Shroomery.

No.
Do not own a tv or entertainment system; got rid of them years ago.
Have never owned a smartphone.
Have two computers (one for gaming, one for everything else) and a tablet (mostly just for reading). Smartphone does not seem viable until photoshop and video-editing software run on them, and they have a big enough screen to make use of while performing either task. That is not even touching on the huge discrepancy in terms of gaming -- would I rather play Fallout 4 or Fallout Shelter?

Pinball > video games
Pinball has endless replay value. Video games... well, if U can't beat a game for shit U will stop playing it for good and if U beat a game U won't even ever feel like re-beating it again.
So pinball has endless re-play value since U can score further and further, or score further than someone else U play against w/, or score further than set score kept up of record holder.

Depends on the game. My favourite genre is RPGs, which means that I can replay the game as entirely different characters and get quite different experiences.
Then there are instances like Skyrim, where if you have enough computing power you can run mods that add content, alter content, change the world space and beyond. For those of us interested enough there is the act of modding itself, where we create such content to share with others -- something I am looking very forward to doing when Fallout 4 lands.
Pinball is indeed great though, and would have a table in the basement, if there were sufficient room down there.
In terms of simple record-passing though, internet gaming allows me to share and challenge records of players worldwide in something as basic as pinball, or something more involved like racing and missions in Grand Theft Auto 5.
You have however given me quite an idea to consider -- perhaps it would be worthwhile to design some sort of virtual reality Pinball game with my Oculus Dev Kit...

You have no idea how many updates the Linux community throws at us every single day. It trumps ms and apple by an order of magnitude. I have a little Ubuntu desktop and it draws more Internet traffic due to updates than I can do myself by streaming porn.
And no, I'd rather not do without a proper computer. Then again, my life consists of more than watching online porn. Maybe that's where I go wrong.

Computer technologies are going downhill as I foresee. I say lean off cpu technologies before the tech gets way out of line, and puts U in a bad runt.

What do you mean with 'cpu technologies'? Sounds like your stumbling in the dark in this department.
