I just came back from CES, I only have one word for those technophobes – Skype.
Everyone is going on about the death of the PC, the real story is the funeral services being held in the South Hall for the cell phone, and the SMS services. That’s right – cell phones are dying, soon to be replaced by Skype enabled devices. In ten years times, phone numbers and area codes will seem as antiquated as vinyl 33 records, or fat ties and bell bottoms. The hoopla between the Android and the IPhone is as irrelevant as the great struggle between Netscape and Microsoft before the advent of Google. The real technology story of the day is that Skype is fast becoming the communications platform of the world.
