As the technology becomes more affordable and powerful, our PCs continue to evolve. But here is a question to consider: is the development of these PCs dictated by the consumers, or are the types of computers that come out on the market influencing us?Think of it like a “chicken or the egg” question. It may seem like a useless philosophical point, but there is valid material here to explore. Why? Because if we, as consumer, are dictating the way the PCs develop, we’ll always get the products we actually need. If, however, the manufacturers are creating products first and expecting the demand to follow, who knows where we’ll end up?It might seem like a strange question at first. One might expect all markets to follow the demands of the consumers. But the fact is that they don’t always do this. Sometimes a company will try to generate more revenue by developing new products and then trying to generate some demand.Friday, October 23, 2009
