Maybe an additional reason, is the fact that we want to keep a high technical level in the topics posted here.

For instance, in standard working conditions, your topic would not be accepted here, because it's in the "computer talk" forum and you are not talking about computers, so you are off-topic.

 

 

Reaction

 

The above post in another thread causes the urge to post an opinion about the direction the computer science and computer user experience is heading. This subject might be on topic for this subforum.

 

Opinion

 

This topic contains a personal opinion about the development of computers in the last fifteen years.

 

Lately some opinions can be seen on the internet stating that the development of computers has come to an end. In a way there are some signs that support these opinions. Recently not very new inventions about computers are published. The main changes are changes of existing technology. Processors are a bit more powerfull. A new style of letting a part of the processor take care of the video handling has been seen. The production of heat has been dealt with.

 

The biggest changes can be seen with tablets. A tablet is a small computer. The development of smart phones has turnt mobile phones into small portable computers too.

 

The attention to tablets and smart phones and the spending of money to these devices have produced a smaller attention and smaller sale figures of desk top computers. Contrary to the smaller interest of desk top computers have the sales of laptops increased the last decade.

 

Another aspect that goes along with the slow development of computers is the stagnation of the development of the operating system. Windows hasn't shown much improvements since Windows XP. The operating program Windows XP provides about all the activities computers are used for lately. Windows Vista has an improved view, which didn't add much to the user experience. The main advantage of Windows 7 is the higher speed of the operating program. And Windows 8 provides the use of a touch screen. But a touch screen for a laptop computer is pretty expensive. And the advantage of the use of a touch screen with a laptop computer is questionable. This means that since Windows XP the operating system of a computer didn't show any hug improvement.

 

The lack of technical improvement and the stagnation of the development of the operating program result in a general decrease of the development of the computer.

Ouch! Are you using really huge letters, or do my glasses have problems?

I confirm, you used huge letters.
