Over the short span of computer history, we saw the main frame computers gave way to the minicomputers, the minicomputers succumbed to the workstations, and the workstations overtaken by the personal computers. The clear trend of large yields to small and expensive yields to low-cost. Computers companies, such as DEC and Sun flourish and perish in the process. Computers reach ever more to the population. If we extrapolate, the PC's will be replaced by something even smaller and more ubiquitous. And it is already happening. The smartphones will supplant the PC's. So what will happen to the tech giants of today? Who will flourish, who will perish?
