Re: World Domination

Hello Robert, good to see you here at the PC RoundTable. <g>

I believe that:
In the not-too-distant future, the PC industry will be the largest in the world.

Your comment about the PC industry's growth and continued evolution ties in well with my conviction. I recently had a debate with Michael Burke on his thread regarding the role of the PC in society, and its long term total-market penetration prospects.

Here was the most interesting argument. What do PCs resemble most: televisions, or cars?

I think the question itself is very telling since both TVs and cars have greater than 100% penetration (i.e. more than 1 per household on average.) Ultimately PCs will also enjoy similar kinds of broad market acceptance as the TV, the refrigerator, the microwave, the automobile ... only a matter of time. In fact, since the PC has more potential power than any of these (including the automobile!)

I'd like to hear everyone's views on the long term market size for the PC.

God bless,
PX
