Gartner: Most Kids Will Use PCs With Touchscreens by 2015


971b75ed29f938401a67fa2317d0cbdb Gartner: Most Kids Will Use PCs With Touchscreens by 2015

The iPad may indeed be the future of computing, at least when it comes to the way you interact with it. According to IT research company Gartner, more than 50% of PCs purchased for users under 15 years of age will have touchscreens by 2015.

Leslie Fiering, research vice president at Gartner, thinks kids will pave the way, with the corporate world lagging behind. “By 2015, we expect more than 50 percent of PCs purchased for users under the age of 15 will have touchscreens, up from fewer than 2 percent in 2009. On the other hand, we are predicting that fewer than 10 percent of PCs sold to enterprises in 2015 for mainstream knowledge workers will have touchscreens,” she said.

afe8f1ae8488426f1767a8ae24aef5dc The 3 Most Common Types of PC Virus Infections Web security and the vexing problem of malicious software made headlines again last week when computer antivirus software maker McAfee sent out a botched update that crashed thousands of computers around the world.

Such hiccups in computer security software are rare. What isn’t rare is the damage caused by the malicious software known as malware that antivirus software is designed to thwart.  Last year hackers stole approximately 130 million credit card numbers, according to an Internet Security Threat Report released this month by security software maker Symantec. And in the third quarter of 2009 alone, there was over $120 million in reported losses due to online banking fraud.
