The engineer who was on the team who built the first PC, 30 years ago, has said that its time has been and gone.
IBM engineer Mark Dean said that he was proud when IBM decided to leave the personal computer business in 2005, selling its PC division to Lenovo.
He said that he has switched to a tablet and that the PC is going the way of “vacuum tubes, typewriters, vinyl records, CRT and incandescent light bulbs.”

They will come up with a very advanced vioce controlled intuitive operating system for these tablets. But this will take time. Until then we will have something like the Mac Air in transition.
Yep, we’ll all be consumers soon, and all programmers and journalists will be Chinese… so we don’t need a keyboard to play videos on youtube…
The individual programmer will rise up with a new computer language that is coming. I speak from inside knowledge of it.
As for the prognostication of that IBM fellow, Google this “Those who can’t build, talk”.
