Over this few years, i have seen much improvement in the smart phone sector than personal computer. Smart phone is taking changes in how human interact with each other, and it provide the simplest way to access Internet, social media and much more without the need of a PC.
When the dawn of PC and the use of internet for the last few decade, we need a desktop PC and a dial up modem to work, and play. And every year we can see more improvement are being made to the PC with new technology and software coming out to suit and improve the PC experience. But that create a problem, people tends to sit in front of a PC rather than hanging out with friend like old days.
With the introduction of smart phone and wireless data connection, things has gone a lot faster and more social. People can now hanging out with friend and can connect with people around the world more easily without being limited to one place. Then things become to change, as more and more people are using a smart phone than a PC.
PC industries is seeing a slow progress if compare to the early 2000's. Desktop and laptop is decreasing in sales year over year in consumers sector. Now the PC sales much rely on enterprise, and things is not good with this weak and slow global economic.
Slow economic will further hurt the PC industries, as more and more enterprise will find a way to save bill, especially electric bill. Then the desktop will run out of business and laptop will take over the desktop. Does it stop here? No, laptop will soon be replaced by tablet and AIO desktop.
PC manufacturer cannot rely on enterprise alone as the main market is still consumer sector. This is when things take it changes, as PC manufacturer start making smart phone as we can see over this few year, more and more PC manufacturer comes out with their own brand of smart phone.
While smart phone market is steady in growth year over year, it is now being saturated with lot and lots of manufacturer coming out with new phone every couple of months. People tends to change their phone once every 2.5 years, and with manufacturer build a new phone in couple of months, we can see the demand for a new phone is decreasing.
This is just my opinion, The PC future will be totally replace by tablet and AIO system, and maybe in few decade, it will be replaced by smart phone or other similar products. We won't be able to see the bulky build PC any more in the future, as things will get small and smaller with new technologies appear.
For smart phone, this market still have its glory in this few years. And we will see more of wearable products being pair with smart phone to boost its profitability in the mean time. Until some one comes with a better products, we can see the smart phone industries will surely takes the win against PC. The age of PC will certainly coming to an end, and our great grandson will not know any of this equipment that we use today in their age XD.
