Hi there
This is really OLD stuff - that even a CHIMPANZEE could predict -- PC's are now a niche market
We'll doubtless be reading in the not to distant future about "Why sales of Smart phones" are stalling".Apart from the changes in the way we USE devices (a lot more choices now than before) don't people EVER realize that markets can't grow indefinitely --once a market matures sales inevitably slow down - and with modern electronics who needs to replace this type of gear frequently anyway.
I sort of disagree with the older group using tablets a lot though -- most of that group - particularly as their eyesight begins to get worse IMO prefer doing their computing with LARGE SCREENS rather than 10 inch tablets. They also use smart phones a lot too- but actually for making calls rather than the "Smart phone features" such as Internet although a lot are increasingly using Video calling like SKYPE -- Granma's like to see their grandchildren etc especially if they are a long way away.
So apart from probably a failure of perceiving what the older generation are doing (My long retired Dad is still doing daily Stock Trading with a proper computer and there's plenty of older people using PC's) almost anybody could have written that piece.
It's not "NEWS" but "OLDS". (i.e not new but ancient).
