The next battleground: The 4th Era of Personal Computing



The smartphone wars are over. Apple and Google won. Intel, Microsoft, Blackberry and others lost. But this is old, old news. The smart money has already moved on. The next platform battles are already well underway.

Understanding where the new battlegrounds have moved to is vital for anybody in the tech sphere. Even if you're not in tech, knowing where the tech world is going next is key to future success. It should inform your business strategy, your partnership strategy, and probably your personal financial investment strategy.

I believe we are moving into the fourth era of personal computing. The first era was characterized by the emergence of the PC. The second by the web and the browser, and the third by mobile and apps.

The fourth era of computing is a potent combination of technologies and an alphabet soup of computing buzzwords:

· IOT (Internet of Things, including wearables)

· AR (augmented reality)

· Natural interfaces (voice, gesture, and expressions)

· 5G networking

· PAs (personal assistants)

· AI (artificial intelligence)

· CaaS (conversation as a service)

· Social networks (or the "life platforms" that they are evolving into)
