Maybe one reason for these overstated headlines - "the PC is dying" and similar - is the investor's attitude: if a product or market is not growing then it's dead and must be abandoned immediately. Another reason undoubtedly is media eagerness to write up any trend tendentiously, to get page views and appear to be on top of things. Intelligent readers recognize that things get exaggerated in this way. Yes, PC market share will decline, but anyone who does a lot of writing will continue benefiting from a physical keyboard, and anyone doing complex or creative computer tasks (softare, science, CAD/CAM, video editing, more) will still need a big monitor with multiple windows onscreen. Possibly a side benefit will be that PC interfaces will finally evolve to be more friendly for expert users, if they become the target userbase for PC software, while the prevalent "dumbing down" imperative may hopefully move to the mobile devices and no longer impair PCs as much as it has done in recent years.
