In this week’s edition of “Steve Jobs Said What!?,” the CEO Maximum PC readers love to loathe told The Wall Street Journal PCs aren’t long for this world, while devices like tablets are the wave of the future.
“The transformation of the PC to new form factors like the tablet is going to make some people uneasy because the PC has taken us a long ways,” Jobs said in response to a question by The Wall Street Journal’s Steve Mossberg. “The PC is brilliant … and we like to talk about the post-PC era, but it’s uncomfortable.”
Jobs went on to say that “PCs are like trucks,” making a reference to a time when trucks used by farmers were more common than cars.
