Inhaltsangabe

This book discusses the History of the Personal Computer. The review of the first 36 years from 1975 to 2011 focusses on the extraordinary growth in sales in that short span. It elaborates on how the entrepreneurs creating that growth did so, discussing many keys to success. The discussion of the present, from 2011 to 2017, reviews the serious weakening in PC sales over that period and discusses the causes of the decline. The presentation of the future includes suggestions on what new developments might spark PC sales again. It concludes with a list of things to watch for that might indicate PC sales are on the rise. The insights provided should be helpful to entrepreneurs developing high tech businesses.
