The Accidental Tech Podcast

00:00:00 ◼   ► that's what we talked about tonight I think it was actually kind of a slow [TS]

00:00:03 ◼   ► week in tech news it was i think one thing I definitely did wanna talk about [TS]

00:00:08 ◼   ► them and I probably should have read more about it beforehand but oh well is [TS]

00:00:13 ◼   ► this IDC PC sales are doomed to report and do either of you know specifics I [TS]

00:00:21 ◼   ► know the gist of it is that PC sales are way way down 14% or something right but [TS]

00:00:27 ◼   ► isn't that like the biggest drop in a decade or so I don't like it was an [TS]

00:00:31 ◼   ► industry that was always growing like every year you sold a little bit more [TS]

00:00:33 ◼   ► and then justice like not just a you know I slowing growth but a reversal now [TS]

00:00:38 ◼   ► it's alright don't even know if its reversal say none of us rather than 40% [TS]

00:00:43 ◼   ► like a 90% dropper 14 percent but people forget about it if you were to grab hold [TS]

00:00:49 ◼   ► these numbers I think it would look like oh it's clear that you know like [TS]

00:00:54 ◼   ► growth is leveling off and it's our turn downward and you know that's what you [TS]

00:01:00 ◼   ► would expect right i you know i i don't know why I think it's it's worth [TS]

00:01:05 ◼   ► discussing and and thinking about why people buy new PCs and and when people [TS]

00:01:12 ◼   ► buy new PCs because obviously some degree of this growth was you know just [TS]

00:01:20 ◼   ► population growing and more people getting a computer at all and so you [TS]

00:01:27 ◼   ► know I'm sure I'm sure that factor was responsible for probably the majority of [TS]

00:01:32 ◼   ► PC sales may be in the nineties and probably a good amount of PC sales still [TS]

00:01:36 ◼   ► in the 2000 but I would guess that and now you know these days the PC market [TS]

00:01:45 ◼   ► probably realize a lot of upgrades in this decade and and the last one [TS]

00:01:51 ◼   ► probably as well and and so you know I have these theories and and I don't [TS]

00:01:55 ◼   ► really have anything to back this up except my own personal experience and [TS]

00:01:59 ◼   ► having having previously been a PC guy and a tech support guy in every [TS]

00:02:03 ◼   ► else one of my theories is you know so in the nineties when when I got my first [TS]

00:02:11 ◼   ► computer and so this is when I started paying attention plus I was a little bit [TS]

00:02:15 ◼   ► young in the eighties but so in the nineties I feel like most people like [TS]

00:02:20 ◼   ► white why would you upgrade your computer why would you buy a new [TS]

00:02:22 ◼   ► computer and I feel like you know in the nineties that the biggest reasons were [TS]

00:02:27 ◼   ► significant speed upgrades or new capabilities like if your old computer [TS]

00:02:33 ◼   ► didn't have a modem and you either a tournament your computer you got a new [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► computer with a modem later on you get you have networking support you know [TS]

00:02:40 ◼   ► once once broadband comes in the very late nineties you had the addition of [TS]

00:02:45 ◼   ► things like sound cards and CD rom drives and you know major major new [TS]

00:02:50 ◼   ► hardware capabilities that sometimes required new computers and sometimes we [TS]

00:02:53 ◼   ► get done as as upgrades and then similarly like back in the nineties Ram [TS]

00:02:59 ◼   ► was so incredibly scares that an old computer and a new computer would [TS]

00:03:05 ◼   ► actually be substantially differently performing even just like two years [TS]

00:03:09 ◼   ► later because the new computer would be able to afford more RAM and you know [TS]

00:03:14 ◼   ► CPUs were doing things like adding Masco processors and adding hardware [TS]

00:03:20 ◼   ► floating-point stability like things that they get that now just every [TS]

00:03:24 ◼   ► computer and watch and HDMI adapter has built in but back then they didn't [TS]

00:03:30 ◼   ► mission impossible operating system operating system will self-destruct in [TS]

00:03:35 ◼   ► six months to two years there you just slowly get worse and worse and worse in [TS]

00:03:39 ◼   ► what is a regular person do in that situation [TS]

00:03:41 ◼   ► time to buy a new computer I mean that that's what it comes down to is like if [TS]

00:03:44 ◼   ► the thing you have it gets worse [TS]

00:03:48 ◼   ► are broken or bad or inadequate in some way that's when you replace it a good [TS]

00:03:52 ◼   ► comparison is television sets where the television set you had it still shows TV [TS]

00:03:57 ◼   ► shows as it turned onto the channel change our camp fun and HDTV was like ok [TS]

00:04:01 ◼   ► well now I feel it is inadequate because I saw my friends HDTV and mine doesn't [TS]

00:04:06 ◼   ► look like that it's time to buy new to you but otherwise people who are not [TS]

00:04:09 ◼   ► video files we just keep their TV and less TV stopped [TS]

00:04:12 ◼   ► performing what the job it was supposed to do and a poppy seeds used to be like [TS]

00:04:16 ◼   ► you by a man in two years [TS]

00:04:18 ◼   ► like it would if it wasn't even as good as the day you bought it for getting [TS]

00:04:21 ◼   ► compared to your friend's computer also pales in comparison but it just it just [TS]

00:04:24 ◼   ► degraded like you know software gets lower and viruses and well that was [TS]

00:04:29 ◼   ► later this week I feel like like so in like in the 2000 that I would say that [TS]

00:04:34 ◼   ► was more than a bit like in the nineties I think it was much more about things [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► that were like computers were actually advancing significantly past their [TS]

00:04:43 ◼   ► hardware capability here every year you see your friend writer the computer in [TS]

00:04:49 ◼   ► the shower rooms and it would be like looking at the radio TV and HDTV be like [TS]

00:04:54 ◼   ► oh well mine sucks but like in the end of the 2000 I feel like there's also [TS]

00:04:59 ◼   ► this major moves towards laptops and wireless and and that that helped drive [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► a lot of cells and another way your link itself is being he's being cool and hip [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► and I'm attached to this I get the calls for Hightower [TS]

00:05:13 ◼   ► to that end when I was in school which was 2003 2004 I got a ThinkPad that had [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► a built-in 802 11 be cards so rather than having this PCMCIA card with the [TS]

00:05:27 ◼   ► little pimple on that little it was this huge boldest thing sticking out the side [TS]

00:05:32 ◼   ► in sdcard does in a match today [TS]

00:05:35 ◼   ► well I actually had a ThinkPad with the bill teen and I think was a Cisco Cardno [TS]

00:05:39 ◼   ► last man I thought I was hot stuff [TS]

00:05:42 ◼   ► the three places on campus that actually had wireless at Virginia Tech at the [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► time I could do it without having that stupid PCMCIA card hang out of my [TS]

00:05:50 ◼   ► computer and it was amazing but it's interesting because it's a go back a [TS]

00:05:54 ◼   ► step I remember vividly my dad and I taking our 386 and adding a math [TS]

00:06:00 ◼   ► coprocessor to it and in so I feel ya exactly and so I feel like there was a [TS]

00:06:06 ◼   ► wave there was a period of time where advances were happening slow enough that [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► you could kind of staple them on the computer you had [TS]

00:06:12 ◼   ► and I wouldn't based on no fax whatsoever I feel like that was early to [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► mid nineties and Marco I think you're right then all of a sudden velocity [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► really cranked up in then you had to replace an entire computer an entire [TS]

00:06:24 ◼   ► motherboard get the next advancement to be fair prices plummeted during that [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► same time my first computer and ninety-four was a $2,500 and then by 97 [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► I built a whole new one from parts for like nine hundred I mean it was it was a [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► substantial difference you know so consolidation shrinking its many can fit [TS]

00:06:40 ◼   ► more stuff on fewer chips here just cost less money blah blah [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► to the point where you are iPhone zeroual system but I feel like you know [TS]

00:06:49 ◼   ► in the two thousands there were still these things happen there were still [TS]

00:06:53 ◼   ► these these big new reasons why you'd want a new computer and a lot of that [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► had to do with wireless and people moving from default of buying desktops [TS]

00:07:02 ◼   ► to default of buying laptops but I think a lot like I was working briefly in the [TS]

00:07:08 ◼   ► tech support business in the mid to thousands and I was for very many years [TS]

00:07:13 ◼   ► before and after that still doing it like on the side for friends and family [TS]

00:07:16 ◼   ► and stuff and it was very very clear that starting in the early to mid to [TS]

00:07:23 ◼   ► thousands a lot of people were replacing perfectly good computers because they [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► were full of malware and people thought oh it has slowed down because it's too [TS]

00:07:31 ◼   ► old I guess I have to get a new one they wouldn't think to reformat and reinstall [TS]

00:07:35 ◼   ► windows like that that was never considered they would just go out and [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► buy a new computer even though the difficult was perfectly fine hardware [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► wise and which is a comical and tragic waste of resources but I feel like that [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► that's certainly boosted PC sales and probably is still to some extent [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► although anti-malware tools are way better now and and way more widespread [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► but what can you really have a lot of know exactly like people don't know a [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► regular people don't know like they would say I'm not a space at your new [TS]

00:08:07 ◼   ► computer and I didn't knowingly do anything to make it slow so the US in [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► must be the technology has progressed past me and it's time to get new [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► hardware where you're absolutely right in reality it is well in john is right [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► as well you know its mission Impossible operating system where [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► every six months ago have to reinstall windows from scratch and especially [TS]

00:08:27 ◼   ► without really good backup solutions or I mean this is a time before in home [TS]

00:08:32 ◼   ► networks were a thing for the most part I and it was and it was very expensive [TS]

00:08:36 ◼   ► to have three times as much harder spaces you actually need it right now [TS]

00:08:41 ◼   ► herself through his accuser's are probably have the highest percentage of [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► anybody just because Apple's incredible push with Time Machine and like the [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► Apple store experience where there's likely to be someone during your [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► purchase experience who told you the time she exists in this thing you might [TS]

00:08:56 ◼   ► want to consider doing and it's not that hard but the percentage is probably just [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► depressingly low for Mac users and even more depressing over regular people [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► yesterday I would guess that's true but either way my point is that let's say [TS]

00:09:09 ◼   ► you had and i dont member of really valid number of the time let's just say [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► you had to give mp3's in early two thousands were gonna put that give mp3's [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► while you're reinstalling everything on your hard drive and I mean you could [TS]

00:09:22 ◼   ► burn it to CD and obviously there's many other options that existed but they were [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► commonplace and that's assuming you're confident enough in your abilities to [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► even reinstall windows of which eliminates 99% of the population to [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► begin with everyone was just raced into the arms of the plants like devices like [TS]

00:09:37 ◼   ► iPods and smartphones because I mean that's that's the story is like okay [TS]

00:09:41 ◼   ► people are buying PCs by because they replace their PCs with a smartphone or [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► with an iPod over the combination because if you had to give mp3 you're [TS]

00:09:48 ◼   ► probably pretty to begin with and but if anyone with the gang of mp3's who is not [TS]

00:09:54 ◼   ► guilty probably has it on a phone and ipod that works more like an appliance [TS]

00:09:57 ◼   ► that gives them a fighting chance of preserving that in some way like like [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► they trashed their PC they get a new one but it just plug the iPod into an assist [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► you want to sync with this I don't even know if you do that crap but like I [TS]

00:10:09 ◼   ► would imagine that the lifeboat for their music is these small hand-held [TS]

00:10:14 ◼   ► appliance like the license and is not so much like how they like them better [TS]

00:10:16 ◼   ► businessman handheld and people have to have phone anyways just a day work [TS]

00:10:20 ◼   ► there's so much so much more friendly to people there you know you can't screw it [TS]

00:10:24 ◼   ► up you can stop sign install apps is very little you can do anything [TS]

00:10:27 ◼   ► specifically Apple devices but even even Android phones are much less [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► intimidating a much less easy to accidentally screw up then a PC so yeah [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► messages I can make phone calls I can look at the few websites I want to do [TS]

00:10:44 ◼   ► and I get netflix on my TV y remind me again why I have a computer [TS]

00:10:50 ◼   ► well thats I think that's why I like a lot of people a lot of people are [TS]

00:10:53 ◼   ► assuming this report is is assuming that this decline in PC sales as is being [TS]

00:10:58 ◼   ► caused by tablets and I think it's really being more caused by smartphones [TS]

00:11:04 ◼   ► tablets and they they don't help matters but smartphones [TS]

00:11:11 ◼   ► seems gotta be by far because like it's it's the stealing the growth market of [TS]

00:11:16 ◼   ► the people who previously were going to buy a computer but now don't feel the [TS]

00:11:20 ◼   ► need for one of those keep upgrading the phone every couple of years for similar [TS]

00:11:23 ◼   ► cost to buying it really terrible PCs are way cheaper than you think they're [TS]

00:11:29 ◼   ► done well by Costco and Sam's Club [TS]

00:11:34 ◼   ► like the phone is a similar cost it's it's you know $2.99 for your fancy smart [TS]

00:11:39 ◼   ► phone + the contract to your program anyway like that's that's factored in [TS]

00:11:45 ◼   ► its like well you got a cell phone and data plans little more expensive that [TS]

00:11:49 ◼   ► only 300 bucks but you could see an honestly you should buy three ended on [TS]

00:11:53 ◼   ► smartphones that if you say it will be much more satisfied with only 10 at this [TS]

00:11:57 ◼   ► in this day in age if you are at all interested in a new computer and you [TS]

00:12:02 ◼   ► live in a first world country you probably have already owned one you know [TS]

00:12:06 ◼   ► you're like you know ten years old but you've probably already own one and so [TS]

00:12:12 ◼   ► you are faced not necessarily with the decision of should go out and buy a new [TS]

00:12:16 ◼   ► PC this year but should I upgrade my PC this year and that I feel like people [TS]

00:12:23 ◼   ► are doing so much more so much more on their phones now the phones have become [TS]

00:12:27 ◼   ► the primary computing device for so many people that that like I feel like the [TS]

00:12:34 ◼   ► so many people probably have this these great new smartphones whatever kinda [TS]

00:12:39 ◼   ► really care these great new smartphones [TS]

00:12:42 ◼   ► and then they have some laptop from 2008 that's like creaking and falling apart [TS]

00:12:48 ◼   ► you know some Dell Inspiron piece of garbage and discreetly plastic thing [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► that has been on XP on it that you know they hardly ever use maybe they open up [TS]

00:12:57 ◼   ► a couple times a year to get some files or you know do something that they can [TS]

00:13:03 ◼   ► do on their phone but like what's their motivation to upgrade the computer ever [TS]

00:13:07 ◼   ► as long as it still works and even want to hear it breaks what's the motivation [TS]

00:13:11 ◼   ► I have to wonder like how many people like this a minimum amount of computing [TS]

00:13:16 ◼   ► space in the Internet age that you have to do to feel like you're part of [TS]

00:13:19 ◼   ► society you have to do not necessarily have to have a Facebook page but [TS]

00:13:23 ◼   ► probably have to have email and you probably have to know about the web and [TS]

00:13:30 ◼   ► country society you have some connection to the Internet and electronic device [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► and that's that's the thing that used to be bringing people on there by PCs but I [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► wonder how many of the people like once you cross that baseline how many people [TS]

00:13:43 ◼   ► use personal computers for leisure I guess getting quotes or whatever like [TS]

00:13:47 ◼   ► where most of the time you're at work here commuting your you doin stuff you [TS]

00:14:06 ◼   ► how many people choose to take any portion of that leisure time and sit in [TS]

00:14:10 ◼   ► front of a personal computer I would imagine it's a very small especially if [TS]

00:14:14 ◼   ► they can get their sort of societal baseline participation in the Internet [TS]

00:14:18 ◼   ► age all during the day by looking at their phone [TS]

00:14:20 ◼   ► well i i wouldn't assume it's that small of people who want to to have computing [TS]

00:14:26 ◼   ► like activities during that time I think I think especially social networking [TS]

00:14:30 ◼   ► especially Facebook but even before that the actual games you know so I feel like [TS]

00:14:36 ◼   ► we still in fact I would even say that it's probably likely that that number [TS]

00:14:41 ◼   ► people is still increasing the number of people who would rather spend their [TS]

00:14:45 ◼   ► leisure time either in a TV was obviously the big answers in the past [TS]

00:14:50 ◼   ► and still is probably the predominant answer but now you have a especially as [TS]

00:16:36 ◼   ► connected if they have wifi somewhere and despite what many geeks like to [TS]

00:16:40 ◼   ► think wifi is nowhere near ubiquitous not even close and so but if they have a [TS]

00:16:48 ◼   ► smartphone that's effectively always connected and so it's almost like I feel [TS]

00:16:55 ◼   ► like computers now this isn't perfect but bear with me [TS]

00:16:59 ◼   ► computers now are kind of like PDA's in [TS]

00:17:05 ◼   ► like [TS]

00:17:07 ◼   ► they were cool and you have their uses for them but these other things are [TS]

00:17:11 ◼   ► coming up and then just destroying the relevance of that market because I wiped [TS]

00:17:16 ◼   ► out like PDA is no it won't and that's why it's not a perfect analogy but it's [TS]

00:17:20 ◼   ► i think it's a similar level of relevance to people now sort of what you [TS]
