LOL!

Too easy.... I just smoked you man with links that backed up what I said.

Yes you can believe in Unicorns and Keebler Elves too if you want.

You talk a lot of poppycock, but you have yet to even post a link from a reputable source that backs what you are saying. You are the only person I know saying this. No one else is predicting Desktops growth faster than smart phones, tablets or even Laptops.

Look in the near future (next 20 years) everything will be wired to the web. All the appliances in your home, your lights, your walls, etc.... So the demand for the desktops will continue to go down.

Too easy!

The following study shows a PC market still selling over 300 million devices per year. And that’s from July 2014, and not some old and outdated report from 2013. Like I said, anything older than a few months can’t be trusted when it comes to predictions. Things change too quickly in the tech world.

BTW, I’m not talking about desktops; I’m talking about anything that can be classified as a PC, which includes desktops and laptops and PC/tablet hybrid devices. All totaled, they sell more than 300 million yearly.

The cloud is not going to replace PC, or any computing devices. In fact, with all the problems which cloud computing presents in regards to theft of personal information and invasion of privacy, far too many people are becoming leery of that cloud computing.

I like the idea of keeping my files and photos on my own devices, with the cloud getting the data/info which is mostly insignificant and that I wouldn’t worry about if it got lost or stolen.
