Business Presentation Write-up

Topic:

Discuss and analyze the future of the PC. What significant changes,

if any, are ahead, and what will business need to do to prepare for

them?

The given topic is very interesting because here I have to discuss about that

technology which keep on changing and scientist keep on innovating smart

and crazy ideas regarding Personal Computers (PCs). If we look 20years back

in history, we will came to know that the PC from the very first day had made

human life very relaxed not only in making fast and correct calculations but

also in business dealings in making decision fast and accurate, thats why

they were greatly appreciated by organization and they started their journey

in business organizations.

Now, come to the topic that to analyze and the future of PCs. Well,according to my research and data available on web-sites, blogs, and

magazines and from all the available sources. The essence of my research

came that there is a very bright and successful but a little challenging future

of PCs. Why, I am saying bright and successful because every day new ideas

and new concepts of future PCs come into the market according to customer

need and want or even who are not expecting such crazy ideas. And why it is

challenging because now many PCs manufactures capture the whole market

and they keep on trying on another shares. Following table which I scanned

from a magazine clearly shows the market share of PCs in the 2010.

Future PC Technologies

Fabric PC:

As the technologies behind the Fabric PC concept continue to develop,

durable, pliable and light-weight computer-based devices will be introducedinto all corners of the business and entertainment world.To illustrate, Fujitsu has unveiled several other concept devices along withthe Fabric PC, which rely on similar basic technology. One example is the"clerk browser" -- a computer worn around the wrist like a large bracelet. Thisconcept device was demonstrated as a means by which store clerks orsalespeople could provide on-the-spot information to customers -- althoughit's easy to imagine other applications for this type of wearable computer. Aswith the Fabric PC, e-paper and small, lightweight components would beessential features of this type of device.

FujitsuThe Fabric PC has a large, flexible e-paper display. The "card viewer" is another one ofFujitsu's concept designs that wouldrely on e-paper. In fact, this device canbe thought of as an e-paper notepad.Because e-paper requires inputs tomake changes to its display, once thedisplay is set, it remains set, even whendisconnected from its power source. The card viewer concept takes

advantage of this situation byincorporating one or more sheets of e-paper displays that can be detachedfrom the device and handed off just like a business card. The detached sheetof e-paper will continue to display the same image -- just like a normal pieceof paper pulled from a notepad -- until reattached and updated.

There are countless other possible applications for the types of technologythat Fabric PCs will employ. Just like Fabric PCs, most of these concepts willhave to wait a few years until the supporting technology becomes moreadvanced and affordable. In the meantime we'll have to make do with these

exciting concept models, and a little imagination, too.

Pen PC:

A new concept in personal computing - a pen-shaped miniaturized PC that users operate viaa virtual monitor and keyboard that the device

projects onto any available flat surface. The message suggests that thesehandy pen-sized computers may be set to replace existing PC's and laptopsin the near future.

TED-Sixth Sense:

SixthSense is a wearable gestural interface device thataugments the physical world with digital information andlets people use natural hand gestures to interact with thatinformation. It was developed by Pranav Mistry, a PhDstudent in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab.

Surface computer:

Microsoft Surface is a revolutionary multi-touch computer that responds to naturalhand gestures and real-world objects, helpingpeople interact with digital content in a

simple and intuitive way. With a large,horizontal user interface, Surface offers aunique gathering place where multiple userscan collaboratively and simultaneouslyinteract with data and each other.

What organizations have to do?

Well, all the above discussed technology are the upcoming technology andthese type of innovation really not only going help those organization whoare making this, but also those who are going to use this technology becausethey are fast, reliable and most important very much convenient and easy touse. You can use them where ever you like, this help business individuals forutilizing every available second of their business and less dependent oncurrent PC technology.

But this does not mean that just pay for these gadgets and you are going tomaking billions surly. For better utilization and proper use of thesetechnologies organization have to arrange something for themselves and fortheir employees as well who are going to handle them. Organizations have todo following things:

Employee training: This mean inform of training program all the

relevant staff including clerks to CEOs have to well-trained about thisPC because this really going to help them in using them better as far aspossible and also avoid misusing it because these are bit expensive.So, in order to minimize lose and maximize their productivity throughproper use of the PCs organizations can make billions.

Educating Different Departments: This is may be not possible fororganizations to change all the present technology of all of theirdepartments in one day. It takes time, but this may be possible for

them let say to use latest technology in marketing or sales department.So, in this case the entire interlinked department should know how tomanipulate the information properly because sometimes it happensthat different versions, softwares and formats are required to useproperly. So, to avoid such distortion this creates problem for other

departments. It is to be informed to learned and understand by theother department as well.

Conclusion

Todays tough economic climate is challenging companies to reduce costswhile continuing to focus on improving efficiencies. For organizations, itstruly a do more with less dilemma. Now, you can cut cost only bydownsizing now organizations have to smart by using latest availabletechnology because this really helps organization in making accurate andrealistic decisions and add bucks into their banks as well.
