Will Oremus wrote an article to Slate on April 12, 2013 talking about PCs and the reason why nobody is purchasing them anymore. Many PC brands such as Acer and HP has suffered drastic drops in the market. One possible reason for why this could be happening is when people buy new electronics  they also buy new PC for all of their data. However, Windows 8 does not work that way and it is causing the PC sales to drop tremendously. Another possible reason is that, of course, the PC is an old form of saving data. Now a days, the computer sizes are bigger and can hold more data, and also their are smaller ways of saving data such as a usb drive which has become very common. Also, more work is done on cellphones these days which don't require PCs to save data. People choose to spend their money on tablets and cellphones instead of computers as Oremus says. Also, PCs can last for a really long time and hold a lot of information. This means that once someone purchases one, the chance that they will buy another is very unlikely.

Oremus's purpose of publishing this article to to inform readers about the two possible reasons that PCs are not popular among society anymore. The audience of this article are to the mainly the computer geeks but also everyday people who may want to know why PCs are not as commonly talked about and referred to as they were in the past. He also clearly revealed his own opinion about PCs and how much practical pin drives, cellphones, and tablets have become with this generation.
