I’ve been watching the horrid numbers surrounding the PC market with double digit declines and folks increasingly talking about the “death of the PC,” but I don’t think the PC is dying any more than computing was dying when the PC was created. What we are seeing is a rapid evolution of the platform — a shift to where the calculations are made back to a centralized resource, but the end result is at least as personal as we have always had. In short, the personal computer isn’t dying — it is evolving, and while the process is incredibly painful, the end result could end up being rather cool.
