I was reading this week’s Forbes commentary from Dirk Meyer, president and CEO of AMD ‘Why The PC Is Not Dead’ and wanted to share my personal experience/viewpoint for my blog readers.
As you can imagine I’m a big fan of new media and new technologies. I proudly own and use several PC’s, laptop, iPad, Blackberry, mobile devices and more.
I recently was attending a three-day workshop and brought my iPad with me fully intending to rely on my new cool lightweight hi-tech device for taking notes, searching the web, emails whatever for the full conference but it didn’t make it past the first day. What I’m saying is it’s still not an end-all of the PC.
I agree with Dirk’s comment “we are in the midst of one of the most dramatic shifts ever in the way people use computers”. Computing is in a very innovative and disruptive state in a very exciting way. I read about new trends in cloud computing and intuitive changes in computing. It’s exciting to discover new ways computing is integrating into healthcare and e-patient trends.
Although, I used my iPad at the workshop it wasn’t able to handle all of my computing needs. I still mainly relied on my Black Berry for the mobility of checking e-mails. I needed to remote into my work desktop PC to work on several documents. I can use some of the tools on iPad for tweaking documents but it still doesn’t have full functionality for me.
The Fact’s about PC’s
“This year PC makers remain on track to sell more than 360 million PCs, according to industry analyst firm Gartner–about 1 million PCs every day. Analyst firm IDC predicts the PC market will expand to approximately 630 million units per year by 2015, an annual growth rate of more than 12%.” Taken from D. Meyer (Oct. 4, 2010) Forbes
