In a remarkable admission, Jack Dorsey, CEO of the popular social networking site Twitter, revealed that he does not own a laptop.

He made his revelation after being asked about a famous shot of Mark Zuckerberg's taped-over laptop webcam to protect himself from cyber-criminals.

“I don’t have a laptop,” was his reply.

CNET.com reported that a veteran newspaper journalist in the front row started laughing uncontrollably in disbelief.

Dorsey was in Sydney to talk about Twitter’s new efforts to combat internet trolls and fake news and its bid to amplify the world's most important conversations, reported the German news agency,

"I do everything on my phone. It's important to me because I turn off my notifications and for me it's one application at a time,” Dorsey went on to say.

“So I just have one app up, and I can really focus on what's in front of me instead of everything coming at me as I would on a laptop," he continued once the noise died down.

He also said he doesn't type that much anymore, choosing to dictate instead.
