PC era is over
Very interesting article in "Vedomosti". Samuel Palmisano, CEO and Director of IBM, told Vedomosti about the future of the company and the high-tech industry /
The fact that the creators of "IBM - compatible computers" are no longer engaged in the production of computers.
What will the blue giant do? Nanotechnology, desalination of salt water, virtual worlds, three-dimensional interfaces.
If it is more serious, then the assertion sounds quite convincing and beautiful
1. PC era is over.
2. Computer architecture is changing and becoming Internet-oriented.
3. The user device is increasingly not a PC: PDAs, telephones, televisions — in everyday life, freight containers, automobiles, road systems — in production.
And what will Habr's users answer to Mr. Palmisano?
Some quotes for discussion:
“None of my children who work have a home telephone number. They use mobile, plus a high-speed connection for TV and computer. Nobody has city phones. 30 years ago, when I graduated from school, only that was what people had - a landline telephone. And with computers, the same story. ”
')
“About 97% of desktop computers use Windows. But the server market is a different world. And the fastest growing server operating system is Linux, not Windows or Vista. Therefore, it is obvious that Linux is a serious alternative to Windows. And there are a number of prerequisites, in terms of trends in the industry, to further strengthen the position of Linux and software based on open standards. This is the standardization of the computer industry and the desire of governments of different countries to create and develop their own software industry. "
“Another aspect is related to the fact that Linux or applications based on open standards - a text editor or a package for presentations from Google - can be used for free. That is, a web-based business model is becoming increasingly popular. ”
But I would like to check it out :)
“We have developed translators who can now translate from Chinese to English and from English to Chinese, from Arabic to English and from English to Arabic, to Spanish and vice versa. You can speak in English using a mobile device, and the speech sounds in Russian, or speak in Russian, and English is transmitted. ”
