The Development Trend of mobile Internet in the Post-PC era: the arrival of the Post-PC era

Before IBM launched the world's first personal computer in 1981, computers were used in commercial or industrial use. With the birth of IBM 5150, personal computers have truly entered people's work and life, but also marks the beginning of a new era-the personal computer era.

In the next thirty years, with the development of computer and network technologies, personal computers have developed towards a more intelligent, portable, and easy-to-use trend. The advent of the portable laptops, PDAs that can be used anywhere and anytime in the pockets, and the current hot smart phones will officially begin in the PC era.

The post-PC era is also calledMobile InternetTimes.

With nearly 30 years of development, the PC market has become a stable trend. Several large crocodile companies control the entire market, and it is difficult for emerging companies to get a share of it. The entire PC market is more regarded as a monopoly built by Microsoft and Intel. Microsoft's Windows operating system accounts for almost all markets, the chip market is dominated by Intel's X86 architecture.

Microsoft and Intel have achieved a close strategic partnership. Microsoft constantly upgrades its Windows operating system, and the new operating system is driven by a stronger chip. In this alliance, Microsoft and Intel continue to gain benefits and become more and more of the monopoly kingdom. At the same time, due to cost restrictions, the entry threshold of the PC market is very high, this allows the entire PC market to form a small monopoly group consisting of strong PC manufacturers under a large monopoly of Microsoft and Intel.

First-line vendors such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell account for more than 70% of the market share, while dozens of second-and third-line manufacturers are encroaching on the remaining market. Even so, the PC manufacturer's profits are quite limited. Microsoft's Windows licensing fee is about $50, and Intel's chip price is also 70 ~ About $80, so the cost of a PC is more than $120, plus other accessories, monitors, and labor costs, we can imagine that even the first-line vendors, such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell, account for nearly 70% of the market share, their profits are quite limited. Let alone the second-and third-line manufacturers.

With the advent of the mobile Internet era, personal terminals are evolving in a more intelligent and portable manner. The most obvious change is the mobile phone. Technology has given more meaning to mobile phones. Mobile phones and text messages are only functions provided by mobile phones as a communication tool, and mobile Internet terminals, we require mobile phones to be able to access the Internet anytime and anywhere and expand different applications as needed.

In terms of terminals, This is the smartphone age. The arrival of the smartphone age has completely ended the monopoly of Microsoft and Intel, in the old PC industry, Microsoft only followed Apple and Google in the mobile Internet era. In the later PC era, smart terminals may not be able to bury PCs, however, smart terminals have a wider space and greater vitality than PCs. Although Microsoft took the last bus to launch windows phone7 on the occasion of the arrival of the mobile Internet, it can only be regarded as a shameful CC attacker for iOS and Android.

Due to the long-term development of embedded technology, terminals in the mobile Internet era have completely escaped the dominance of Microsoft and Intel, and both chips and the market have never been prosperous, not only are there international manufacturers such as Ti, Samsung, and NVIDIA, but also companies such as MTK and ruixinwei from China, and their prices can be controlled at around $15, on OS, Google Android, as an open-source mobile operating system, provides manufacturers with an excellent mobile Internet solution free of charge. manufacturers can customize and modify the solution based on their own wishes and market objectives, at the same time, there is powerful technical support from Google, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the threshold for manufacturers to enter the industry, making the entire Smart terminal market unprecedented prosperity.

Although PC's dominant position in the market will not change easily, the emergence of smartphone will shift people's eyes from PC screens to mobile phone screens. This is the real value of smartphone!

More exciting in the future, please look forward to it !!
