everything they want on their smartphone or
tablet device, and even some things they cannot
on a PC.

Microsofts Surface is a good example of such a
device. It offers touchscreen-friendliness users

compact laptop designs is in regards to storage
space.

Rather than install a large capacity hard disk
drive or solid state drive, there is a much
smaller flash memory device used to contain the
operating system and other data, while everything
else is stored in the Cloud or ran as a
software-as-a-service over the Internet.

In regards to desktops, their designs are
changing too. There are all-in-one designs that
contain the computer and monitor in a single
machine.

getting smaller and smaller and starting to adapt

While sales are down and PCs are starting to
undergo transformations to adapt to consumers
needs, honestly, they are most likely going to be
around for the foreseeable future for several
reasons

emerging technologies due to budgetary and
financial constraints and tend to stick with what
is familiar.

mouse/keyboard setups will continue to prefer
using PCs to get online, especially since it
easier for some people to read/see the computer
