PCs won't die for the simple reason that no one has yet figured out a better way to write or code

As a keyboarding teacher reading this article was very interesting because it discusses the importance of an important input device I teach about “the keyboard”.  It’s a known fact that the PC mark has been going down as the price of tablets drops and also allow users to do more.  However, for work getting words into an electronic format can still be done much easier by use of a PC.

This article reminds me of when I got my first netbook I sold my laptop and I ended up having to buy a new one because, teaching, creating and editing website and photo manipulation would work on a netbook but it was much more difficult.  Although I don’t own a tablet of my own I have use one from the school media center.  They are great for a lot of things but there are times when you just need a real computer to get your work done easier.  As the article states at its end, “The writers, spreadsheet jockeys and coders will still rely on the PC” (Proffitt)
