Thinking Inside The PC Box
from the not-much-has-changed dept
As we approach the twentieth anniversary of the date IBM introduced their first PC, The Standard points out that, in reality, not much has changed. While there is definitely research going on, it's also not clear that very much will change drastically in the near future. My belief (still) is that if there is a drastic change in computing, it's going to come from some area that most people aren't expecting - rather than a big company or (even) a venture capital-backed, overhyped, start up.
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
