End of the PC?

I still subscribe to PC World, but I have noticed the issues becoming more and more slender. Could this be the result of the “death” of print media? Maybe.

I think it is the result of the decreasing importance of desktop computers. In the pages of the most recent issues of PC World, I notice a focus on cloud computing and on mobile computing. Recently, in this blog I pointed to the recent survey result indicating interest (strong interest) among students and parents in BYOD (bring you own device) computing in schools.

Sure seems to me, there are multiple threads of evidence suggesting that educators must rethink the devices we provide and the role technology plays in our schools.
