Comdex Is Boring

from the the-death-of-the-post-pc-era dept

The John C. Dvorak roundup of Comdex points out that Comdex was fairly boring this year. He also points out that the "post-PC era" that everyone seems to be talking about was certainly not obvious at Comdex. So, don't expect any more flashy products. Technology is boring again.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    now what are we going to do?

    With such a balanced, critical assessment of the current state of tech, will there ever be a "next big thing"? Now that 'the internet' has cried wolf about 100 times, what will we believe? Will we finally start actually *trying* to make people's lives better, easier, etc. -- instead of promising to do so, and really intending to just make as much profit as possible?
