Week 1 – Assignment 1: Are We in a Post-PC Era?

In the readings for this week, there is a position presented that we may be in a ‘post-PC” stage in the evolution of information systems, meaning that personal computers may not be our primary business devices in the future.

Do you agree that we are in a post-PC stage in the evolution of information systems? Some people argue that we will always need the personal computer, but that it will not be the primary device used for manipulating information. Others think that a whole new era of mobile and biological computing is coming. Do some original research and make your prediction about what business computing will look like in the next generation. Justify your position and conclusion(s) with citations from the literature you found.
