Evolution and Future of Personal Computing

Let’s talk about last two decades in terms of evolution of personal computing.

1991-2000: Some major hardware developments occurred, which made the dream of personal computing come true. Software giants like Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc evolved and took over the IBM-dominant market. Desktops started making their way into offices and eventually, homes.

2001-2010: The starting of decade was taken over by Microsoft operating system, Windows XP. It spread like a fire, used in most offices, homes, business etc.                                                           Apple developed some products like iMac, MacBook, which had its different customer base, not as vast as Microsoft. But the end brought increment in the number of Mac users. 

On the hardware end, a vast change could be seen throughout. Huge, bulky desktops started shrinking and soon laptops became the first choice of home users. Apple, always known for its innovations, took the world by surprise on its launch of MacBook air. It was the thinnest laptop on the planet and was ultra portable. By the end, apple again came with the one of the biggest innovations of the decade, which might change computing forever. It was its tablet PC, iPad. Soon, many companies started launching their own android tablets, but still the iPad dominates the tablet market, mainly because it’s smooth, fluid interface and its large iOS app base. Microsoft, revealed its plans and preview of Windows 8, which was optimized both for tablet use and desktop/laptop use.
