Cringley: Inflection Point Reached

Posted on May 16, 2005

PBS' Robert X. Cringely says we have crossed the inflection point, which he describes as "that abrupt elbow in a graph of growth or decline when the new technology or paradigm truly kicks in, and suddenly there is no going back." Cringley says PCs, gaming and electronic entertainment will never be the same now that three things have happened. What are the three things? The Xbox 360, the Google Web Accelerator and Apple's remaking of the music and movie businesses. This may not quite be the conversion point of various entertainment systems but we are definitely getting closer and Cringley makes some very interesting points.
