I am wondering whether the demise of the pc is forthcoming? No less than Apple's CEO has declared that we are in "post-PC era". Let us try to reflect on how we really do our computing nowadays.

Isn't it that the trend a decade ago were to have faster chips and improved graphics display? The race for better display and quick computing always spikes prices expectedly. Then storage and weight mattered afterwards. Then size and soon weight. Why has these been so, when practically a faster processor and a good display is all we needed. We certainly could carry a 3 kilogram or less on our shoulders as long as we are confident we have a reliable notebook that delivers, right?

And who wants really a slow and small computer? Some say this types we call Tabs are toys. But sales of these Tabs is about to eclipse sales for PC, and I believe surpassed it per unit volume in the recent years when IPad was launched and the Androids further innovated. Even better for the Androids, the surge in unit sales over time was faster, that Apple had to sue a Korean Company to stop it from eating market-share, protecting the territory they had for years; in which this Korean company built so quickly through a partnership with Google, leveraging on the internet.

So we know we can't do sophisticated programming or report writing using our Tabs. Especially, if spreadsheets and documents are too huge that our storage is so limited. Yet, we want to have a Tab and a PC at the same time? What a queer preference, isn't it?

That preference is not surprising at all. As the internet grew and was packed with relevant information through the years, we unnoticed how we got attracted to the vast information it provided us, thus the changes in the way we sought information. The usual TV that hooked us on because of our natural desire to improve our knowledge base, two decades ago, has shifted towards the Tabs as more convenient in terms of weight, size, mobility and ease of access. Since we already now have the internet, how much more innovations shall we see coming forth in the future.
