The PC revolution was great because it exposed PCs to a lot of people who really didn't need all that power and versatility; the PC was the only option. This is a long term market correction, and society is worse off for it, but that's not the issue. The real unacknowledged variable is the limited power of current Non-PC computing devices.

The first "portable" computers were pretty limited, and laptops are full fledged PC's (I think most would agree).
