I don't know if I could dissagree more with those opinions, maybe the uses of such things will change, and already have started to, but go away? I think not.
Email, not gonna leave any time soon, this technology though limited in scope, is the new backbone of the inter-office memo.
Websites, I shouldn't need to say anything since this is on one.
Datacenters, where will the cloud be without them?
Fixed Phone lines, though this is the one I really would like to see gone, I doubt it will happen in this generation, where I live cellular phones have no signal, and no carrier has any plans to build a tower, ever, I live in a low population area, and the big boys don't want the little bit of business we would give them, so the landline is our lifelink
PCs? that statement is rediculous. What the heck would I be using to read this without one? What would the ******** gamers use? Why would I get rid of the one place, thats 100% private, in my home, to store all my data?
And lastly, traditional data-processing, well I really don't have anything to say about this because the statement "traditional data processing" in itself means it is outdated, new technologies will always replace old ones, newer, better, faster, more accountable methods are being developed every day, and have been since the beginning of computing, so this one is a duh statement in my mind
