Explain the emerging trends in microcomputer technology in relation to size

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

"emerging trends in microcomputer technology"

At International data corporation we do market and competitive analysis for both vendors and users of information processing equipment. Therefore,when i look at where the technology has been and where it is going.I see it from two views point where the industry is moving and how well users are adapting to the changes,But from both view point the movement can be summarized in three words faster smaller and cheaper.

     It may be helpful to think in terms of micro computer life cycle.The first is hard were introduction during which time users have the opportunity to review hardware capabilities.The second phase is response to that original debut whatever  it attracts peripheral vendors of hardware and stimulate software development that provide a wide and rich work development.No corporation not even IBM can stand alone in this marketplace.All need the diversity of the expansion board vendors,the software vendors,the whole new industry that the emerged over the last few years.

      In this first stage we dealt with the personal computer as an individual workstation,as an independent processing unit rather than as a part of larger organizational framework.We also had to deal with the whole all of shared peripherals,secondary to whatever unit was on the desk.
