this is obvious to everyone. PC sales were inflated for 2 decades anyway. Most people never really needed one in their own home in the first place, it was a luxury for so many. That and it's so easy to knock together a used PC that will perform fantastically, that techies can drop their old gear onto their family and they won't need to purchase anything yet again.
As long as people can internet, print, file taxes, write and open documents from their PTO, that's all the vast population ever needed. iPads and other Tablets do nearly all that and give people an easier library of utilities and games to tool around with than they ever had on a PC. Not only that but the phones and tablets hold and take the digital photos for people. People can share faster than they ever could on a PC using their phone. They have access to graphics software they never understood on a PC.
But PCs will continue to innovate. Especially the laptop form factor that can dock with a high powered video card.
