ABSTRACT
Many claim that we have entered a ‘post-PC’ era. The basis for this perception are arguments like ‘more and more consumers are using their mobile devices as their “default gateway” for accessing the Internet’ (King, 2012), or
as soon as 3 to 5 years from now, the average business professional will be transitioning from ‘Heavy’ clients such as desktop PCs and business laptops with large amounts of localized storage and localized applications … to very small and extremely power efficient … systems … which will function mostly as cache for applications that run remotely.
