My System Specs

Default

Some people think that there is a "mobile" revolution that will replace the stationary PC.

However I think this is wrong for several reasons:

1) Not everyone likes to use mobile devices because of their reduced functionality, tiny screen and inadequate input controls.

2) For many business tasks, you NEED to be at a stationary PC because of the specialty software and hardware needed, because of the need to enforce organizational security over its data assets and because you're being paid to show up at the office.

3) There is simply way too much incompatibility in terms of standards with mobile devices at the moment. Stationary PCs are all standardized to a certain extent - the way they work, the way they communicate, the way they accept user input, etc.

There really is no need to shift everything to mobile tiny devices because they are flawed in many ways. Some tasks might indeed be better done on mobile devices but others are best left alone. I think the mobile device revolution and the existing PC "revolution" can and should co-exist.
