> Why no angry nerds? Mostly because very few people really believe the PC is actually dead. Mobile is the big wave, yet I don't know anyone who says "I have a phone, I sure don't need a desktop/laptop." The closest possible thing is a tablet. Yet, the most common refrain about any tablet to do that I've heard is "well, it doesn't do this" or "it doesn't do that". On the flip side, I've yet to hear anyone state that they wished they didn't own a PC, since their tablet does everything they need.

Your friends are not representative of the whole market. Mobile is larger than desktop in Africa: http://www.gomonews.com/mobile-internet-usage-soars-past-fixed-web-in-africa/ http://www.gomonews.com/mobile-internet-usage-soars-past-fix... (and this is from 2010). Kids 5 years from now will find desktop computers and current laptops strange and kludgy.

  In most so called third-world countries mobile is much larger than desktop simply because mobile is more affordable.
