End of PeeCees?

On today's BBC "Analysis", there's a little segment on the issue of personal computers being obsolete because of the rise of The Internet. Supposedly, we're going to be using our televisions or mobile phones in place of them. The whole segment hinges on the statement of MS that the desktop PC is dead and that the future is The Internet and we'd all better get used to it. Now, I don't think I"m a Luddite, but there's precious little to see on television that I care to waste my time on (the dogs seem to appreciate the noise, so I leave it on for them when I'm going to be out of the house for an extended period). And I can't for the life of me read the screen on my mobile and have to operate it in "blind" mode. Old eyes, but then, there are a LOT of us. There's nothing worse than someone shoving their camera phone in front one's face saying "look at this" and seeing nothing but a tiny multicolored blur. So, for someone who doesn't watch television and can't see the screen on a mobile, is there any better platform than a desktop PC? I don't know if this is off-topic because MS's announcement is supposedly of Momentous Import and reflects a change in the way we do things. Cheers, Chuck
