Declining worldwide PC sales in 2012-2015
03/05/2012
The introduction of the iPad and the sales of tablets by other manufacturers has resulted in declining worldwide PC sales in 2013. There is intense price competition in the PC market with smaller margins. This affects H-P, Lenovo, Dell, Acer and other PC makers. The introduction of Microsoft 8 has failed to reverse this trend.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
