C|Net | at | by Mike
Sometime five to 10 years from now, your PC's processor likely will run at 20GHz and its hard disk will hold 20 terabytes of data. But beyond being faster and bigger, the PC probably won't be that profoundly different. Numerous emerging technologies have the potential to influence the future course of PCs, but in the collective opinion of a variety of industry researchers, designers and analysts, PC changes will be adjustments, not radical alterations. PCs might come with a flat screen and a digital pen, but they'll still be used for writing letters, balancing the checkbook, checking e-mail, shopping online, playing games and editing photos.
