Software It might have seemed unbelievable quite a few years ago, but today, most serious computer users work on two or more PCs. Some people use an office and a home PC, others an office and laptop PC while others have a desktop PC at home and a laptop to accompany them at travels. A similar pattern can also be seen in other consumer products, such as cars, where the general purpose family car has been replaced by more specialized models such as an SUV and a roadster weekend-drive.However, the set seems to be changing and we should prepare ourselves for a greater change. If all that we did were not even stored on a PC but somewhere on the Internet, then we could have access to our desktop, wherever we were, whatever PC we were using, ours or someone else's. If all my MS Office documents, media files and settings were available like this and accessed by a username and a password then any PC could become my 100% Personal Computer.

With such reduced cost, we could start seeing PCs embedded in cars and cell phones. And of course, nobody can predict where an even bigger wave of spreading PC use might lead to. In other words, we seem to live in a world that continuously creates opportunities for those who love technology or work in the hi-tech sector.
