Recently I came across the term ‘Post PC devices’ – again. I cannot possibly count the number of times I’ve heard, read or seen (in videos) the term ‘Post PC Devices’. But, come to think of it, chunk of the times they have been the words of two men – the former Apple CEO and a ranting TC blogger who I’d rather not name. While the former has the credentials and a business motive to promote the term, the same cannot be said about the latter. The premise of their hypothesis behind the usage of the term is that, the world is past the PC-era or at best, will very soon be. Really ! Job’s contention is that, its no more a MAC vs PC world. PC segment is dead. People hate to work on their PCs. They want to break free. He says, computing has come of age and now the focus is on which form factor in the (so-called) Post PC World is going to take charge. Computing has evolved with new form factors – true, but PCs are dead and people hate them – NOT true.
