Bangalore: Forrester, a research firm, has recently released in their report defining how would be the Post PC era. Forrester has defined Post PC era as, "a social and technological phenomenon in which computing experiences become ubiquitous, casual, intimate, and physical." However, the research firm did not mean that it would be absence of PC, but it would be a new computing era, that will lead us to the new technology.
The 'Post-PC' era does not mean that PC will die. Desktops and Laptops are not going away soon but Forrester forecasts that U.S. consumer laptop sales will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8 percent between 2010 and 2015, and desktop sales will decline only slightly.
Forrester also predicts that while 82 million American consumers will own a tablet in 2015, more than 140 million will own a laptop.
The research firm has predicted the factors for the post PC era, those are, computing going from stationary to ubiquitous, computers becoming more casual than formal, computers going from arms length to intimate, content manipulation is transforming from abstracted (mouse and keyboard on screen) to physical.
The boom of technology has already made phenomenon like cloud computing possible, so one can imagine what Post PC era can deliver to the society.
