Desktops Obsolete?

"In a presentation in Dublin, Ireland in March 2010, Google sales chief Jim Haley stated that desktops would be irrelevant in three years (SiliconRepublic.com). Smart phones, notebooks, and the amount of information available online will converge to create a different kind of future than what we’ve known, according to Haley. Do you agree? Why or why not? What impact would that have on the types of hardware and software that are the most in demand?"

I believe that desktops are becoming more advanced computers not necessarily irrelevant. The desktops that are being produced today are more advanced than those in 2010. They offer such options as all touch screen with more advanced processors. I do believe that because of peoples fast paced life's, desktop computers are becoming less of a popular product. People are working and are very involved with their personal life's, meaning less time to sit at a desktop. People enjoy the convenience of being able to take everything with them as they are on the go. While desktop computers may not be irrelevant I do believe such products as the IPad, IPhone, and lap tops are in more of a demand. As well as such system software as the Cloud which allows ease of access to many personal communication tools. All in all people enjoy less complicated ease of access to everything on the web!
