Just got finished reading this particular article about the author prognosticating on the eventual demise of the PC in the consumer market. I don't doubt that's true, but I would argue with the time frame.
I'd say that the PC market is going to have about another 20 years with diminishing returns on sales year to year. I think that goes along with the basic points of the article. However, I think there will still be a use for PC's in the business market as full power applications require more than current gen tablets or smartphones can eek out. There will come a time when tablets are capable of replicating the sheer processing power of a PC, but without substantial tech upgrades in terms of inputs they just won't be as capable.
Don't get me wrong, I think that tablets and even smartphones will get there, it's only a matter of time. Still, there's a market for PC's until Tablets at least become as capable for power users as PC's.
