Hello, PC!
What Is This Thing, This PC?
Some Quick Questions to Get Out of the Way
âWhat is a PC?â
- The term PC generically refers to any computer that can run the Windows operating system.
- Although your car or sewing machine or the machine that goes âboopâ at the hospital may contain computer electronics, those devices are not PCs.
- Curiously, IBM got out of the PC manufacturing business in the early 2000s.
-
âWhy not just use a tablet or smartphone instead of a PC?â
- Mobile devices are designed for data consumption, not data production. If youâre merely passing through this digital life, you can get by with a phone or tablet and never own a PC. If you need to create something, you need a computer.
- PCs offer several input devices â specifically, the keyboard and the mouse. You can even add a touchscreen to a PC, if youâre into that touchy-tappy-swipey stuff.
- Mobile devices lack the expandability of a PC. You can upgrade a PC, adding more storage, memory, a better monitor, a mouse with 20,000 buttons, and so on.
- The typical computer lasts for years. A mobile device is usually replaced every other year.
