Gadgets replace PCs? PCs have been the most used gadget of the last 10 years , so much so that you would not even call your home PC a gadget. With the rise of the internet powered by increasingly fast broadband access you can do almost anything via your PC play games, date, chat, shop, work, show your holiday snaps, give your opinion, give/get advice, pay your bills and a million other things.
However with new handheld technology via your MP3 player and phone you can do all these things on the move with the same reliability and speed. Japan has seen a fall in PC sales since the rise of these gadgets and the Japanese know a thing or two about technology!
