In this editorial in the Wall Street Journal, David Gelernter argues that IBM should have made an effort to innovate on the design of PCs rather than selling off its PC business to Lenovo. While IBM appears to have concluded that PCs have reached a plateau, he argues that plenty of room for innovation remains, pointing out that cars were at an equivalent maturity stage as PCs in the early 1920's, airplanes in the late 1920's, and televisions in the 1970's. Many functions that should be built into PCs are available only as options, or not at all. Drawing on his familiar appeals for simplicity, Gelernter reveals several possible directions for improving the PC experience, including transparent information sharing, which would allow users to start work in one location and finish it in another.
