Computer when possible

In my opinion, Google Docs, Sheets and Slides make a nice package for computing and communication.  When I was in graduate school in the late 1960's, we had computer assignments using the computer language Fortran.  It was clear that we didn't have any easy, fast way of getting what we wanted done.  Later, when "personal computers" became available at prices we could reach, I did not want to go through anything like the trouble we had in graduate school.  When I learned about the software package called "Appleworks" with a word processor (for writing), a spreadsheet (for arithmetic) and a simple database for records, I wanted a copy of that package for myself. An ad I saw convinced me to get an Apple IIe computer.  We have had access to our own computer since then.  

Today, I looked up how many people use only a smartphone to work on the internet.  I read 60 to 70 % of users use only a phone.  I use the word "interface" to mean what a user sees on a given web page or computer package.  The interface is carefully designed and tested but the physical size of the device limits what can be made available.  I recommend you compare what is available to use on a computer with what is available on a phone.  The difference may surprise you.
