Oh my gosh. I so remember the days when we use to talk about the number of computers out there and the number of users. The number of computers on Networks or just stand alone computers. Then all sorts of statistics would come up and we'd discuss them as well. Such as which are the countries with the most computers, the age of these users and the types of industries they might be in. And now in 2008 we are talking about a BILLION PCs in use. We have a number...A Billion... It just blows my mind. Such exciting times!
See the article on Reuters. Here are the first few paragraphs from that article:
According to analysts, the number of PCs in use has broken the billion mark, and growth means that could surpass two billion in 2014.
Analyst company Gartner has said that the number of PCs now in use has finally topped the billion mark. What’s perhaps surprising, though, is that rapid growth in the developing world means that the figure is likely to top the two billion mark by 2014.To date much of the growth has been in the mature markets of the US, Europe and Japan, which has accounted for 58% of demand, but that is likely to change.
