    And that only pertains to games.
    
    I couldn't image reading and typing while on a tv without sitting 2 feet from it or having enormous text.

  seriously, the PC will never die, but I DO see it Merging with the Television/DVD player to become a Media center.
  
  Sort of a WebTv/XBox/Tivo Amalgram. But it can never die, just like the TV will never die.
  
  I DO believe I've heard predictions of the death of the TV for at least 10 years now.

  I can see that PCs will be come servers at least and at best nothing changes so much.
  
  A PC could be the hub for all the other toys you have like PDAs, thin clients and PornodeckÃ‚Â®.

  Weak article. The author does not sound as if he has ever played an MMOG, cut a podcast, or uses his PC for more than basic fear mongering, er, word processing.

    He sounds like a blowhard. OMG I said it was gonna die 2 years ago and its not dead yet but SEE!!! ITS GONNA DIE!!! His writting is 4 pages of rambling crap with little detail as to why. MorrisCNN needs to go kick his ass.
