People have been predicting it’s death almost since it was = invented. http://www.technologyreview.com/view/428507/predicti= ng-the-post-pc-era-20-years-ago/

 

I think physics and cost get left out of the equation. If it’s = possible to build a computer in 5 years that fits in a tiny phone = that’s as powerful as workstation today – it also means in 5 = years a that same CPU technology will power a desktop 5 times as = powerful as that phone for probably the same money or = less.


So, in 5 years are you buying the phone or the desktop = that’s five times as powerful?


We’ve had tiny computers for 20 plus years – I had a = Zeos handheld smaller and lighter than an iPad with a = “desktop” class 386 CPU 20 years ago. It’s nothing = new, it’s just they are in phones with a GUI = now.

 

I willing to bet a 6 pack of the finest in 5 years the desktop will = not be dead for workstation users. You’ll have client wanting 4D = holographic compositing and need a 100-core desktop with a terabyte of = RAM to run it.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like = fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, = what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes = later.
