The PC is Dead! Long Live the PC!

The recent proclamation that the PC is dead and we are living in something called a “Post-PC world” are little more than some self-serving hyperbole.

Just to clarify: PC actually stands for personal computer and if we go with that accepted terminology, that should mean that given the proliferation of things like tablets, laptops, and smartphones; which can be considered to be the epitome of personal computing, we are entering a time when PCs have increased in popularity.

Here’s an interesting infographic courtesy of visual.ly, with a few facts about the “Post-PC world.”
