Gartner: Cloud personal will replace the personal computer by 2014

The personal computer has long been an important tool of management staff to keep all the secrets and tables of a company has a network of machines. But now that the cloud is trending expertise recently, according to Gartner, Inc. is the realm of the personal computer as a single corporate access Gizmo to an end, and by 2014, the personal cloud replace the personal computer in the middle users digital lives.

Important trends in client computing on the market away from the focus on personal computers to a wider perspective tool, smartphones, tablets and other consumer devices moved includes, said Steve Kleynhans, research vice president at Gartner. Emerging cloud services will become the glue that binds the network of devices, the users in the course work of the various aspects of their daily lives to get access links.

Gartner analysts said that the personal cloud of a new period, which will allow users with a new degree of flexibility with the devices that they begin to offer daily activities while utilizing the strengths of each tool, so that ultimately a new level on user satisfaction and productivity. However, it will require companies to rethink fundamentally how they deliver applications and services to users.

Many call this time the post-PC era, but it is not a matter for the PC, but a new style of personal computing that make the individual to the use of computers in fundamentally new ways to several aspects of their work and exempt private life to improve, Mr. Kleynhans said.

Mega Trend No One: You Is not seen nothing yet consumerization
Gartner has discussed the consumerization of IT for the better part of a decade, and has seen the effects of it on various aspects of the corporate IT world. However, much of it is basically already a forerunner of the great wave that gradually keep on all aspects of knowledge, know-how as key take several factors come together, is:

Users are technologically savvy and have different expectations of know-how.
Net & Social Media have the power and encourages users.
The rise of the powerful, affordable mobile devices will change the equation for the users.
Users have been innovators.
With the democratization of knowledge, users of all types and status within the organizations have now similarly provides know-how.
  Mega Trend number two: How virtualization change the game is played
Virtualization has improved flexibility and increases the ways in which IT organizations can implement client environments.

  Mega Trend number four: The ever-present self-service cloud
The advent of cloud service for individual user opens a whole new level of opportunity. Each user can now have a scalable, unlimited amount of resources available, they need to do ..

  Mega Trend number three: app-ification from applications to apps
If the way that applications are designed, delivered and consumed by the users changes, there is a dramatic impact on all other aspects of the market.

The combination of these mega-trends, coupled with advances in new enabling technologies will be ringing in the time of the personal cloud, said Mr. Kleynhans.In this new world, the characteristics of the devices to be important for the organization to care. Users use a variety of devices, with the rest of the PC of many options, but no tool will be the first port of call. , The personal cloud will take over this role. Access to the cloud and the content stored or shared in the cloud will be managed and protected, as only focusing on the tool itself

  Mega Trend number five: The mobility shift wherever & whenever you need
Today, mobile devices combined with the cloud meet most computing tasks, and some compromises are outweighed in the minds of users from the convenience and flexibility of the mobile devices provided.

HISTORY OF THE COMPTUER

First Digital Computer

Short for Atanasoff-Berry Computer, the ABC started by Professor John Vincent Atanasoff and graduate student Cliff Berry will be developed in 1937 and until 1942 at the Iowa State College (now Iowa State University) developed. The ABC was an electrical machine, the vacuum tubes used for digital computation, including binary math and Boolean logic, and had no CPU. On 19 October 1973, signed by the U.S. Federal Judge Earl R. Larson's decision that the ENIAC patent by Eckert and Mauchly was invalid and named Atanasoff the inventor of the electronic digital computer.
The ENIAC was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania and began construction in 1943 and was only completed in 1946. It employs an approximately 800 square meters and employed about 18,000 vacuum tubes, very, weighing 50 tons. Although the judge ruled that the ABC computer was the first digital computer, to think much about the ENIAC, be the first digital computer, because it was fully operational.

First Stored Program Computer

The early British computer EDSAC is known as a thought about it, up to the first electronic stored program computer to be. The computer performed its first calculation on 6 May 1949 and was the computer that ran the first graphical computer game.

First Computer Company

The first computer was the Electronic Controls Company and Company was founded in 1949 by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, the same people who helped create the ENIAC computer set up. The company was later renamed EMCC or Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation and published a series of mainframe computers under the UNIVAC name.

First commercial computer

In 1942, Konrad Zuse began work on the Z4, which later became the first commercial computer, having to be a mathematician to Edward Stiefel from the ETH Zurich 12th of Expertise Sold in July 1950.

The first PC (IBM compatible) computer

On 7 April 1953 IBM introduced the 701 public, the first electric machine and first produced in series computer. Later IBM introduced its first personal computer called the IBM PC in 1981. The computer was code-named, and sometimes even more often than the glans and had an 8088 processor, 16 MB memory, expandable to 256 and had the use of MS-​​DOS.

The first computer with RAM

MIT is the vortex wind machine on 8 March 1955, a revolutionary computer, the first digital computer was using nuclear magnetic RAM and real-time graphics.

first transistor computer

The TX-O (Transistorized Experimental computer) is the first solid-state computer to be demonstrated at the Massachusetts Institute of know-how in the year 1956.

First Workstation

Although never sold the first workstation is designed, the Xerox Alto, introduced in 1974. The computer was revolutionary for its time and included a fully functional computer, monitor, and mouse. The computer, as much use of computers today run windows, menus and icons as an interface to the operating technique.

First Microprocessor
Intel Invents the first microprocessor, the Intel 4004 on November 15, 1971.

The computer, as much use of computers today run windows, menus and icons as an interface to the operating technique.

First Personal Computer
The Micral pleased to be on the first, intended for non-commercial computer assembly. The computer uses the Intel 8008 processor and sells for $ 1,750 in 1973.

In 1975, Ed Roberts coined the term personal computer when they introduced the Altair 8800. Although the first personal computer is introduced through a lot to the Kenback-1, for the first $ 750 in 1971, thought to be. The computer, relying on a series of switches for the input of knowledge and knowledge output by a series of on & off lights.

First Laptop or Portable Computer
The first truly portable computer or laptop computer is being given to the Osborne I, which was itself released on April 1981. The Osborne I was a time of Adam Osborne weighed 24 pounds and developed, had a 5-inch display, 64 MB memory, five 1/4 "floppy drives, and a modem.

The IBM Personal Computing Division (PCD), the IBM portable set in 1984, it is the first portable computer, which weighed in at 30 pounds. Later in 1986, IBM announced PCD, it is first laptop computer, the PC Convertible, weighing 12 pounds. Finally, in 1994, IBM introduced the IBM ThinkPad 775CD, the first laptop with a built-in CD-ROM.

First Apple computer
Steve Wozniak Introduces the first Apple known as the Apple I computer in 1976.

First PC Clone

The Compaq Portable is thought about, to be the first PC clone and was published in March 1983 by Compaq. The Compaq Portable was 100% compatible with IBM computers and was developed with any applications for IBM computers.

First Multimedia Computer

In 1992, Tandy Radio Shack is one of the first companies to a computer on the MPC standard with the introduction of the XL M2500 / M4020 SX 2 & Computers release.
