Desktops Obsolete?

In a presentation in Dublin, Ireland in March 2010, Google sales chief Jim Haley stated that desktops would be irrelevant in three years (SiliconRepublic.com). Smartphones, notebooks, and the amount of information available online will converge to create a different kind of future than what we’ve known, according to Haley. Do you agree? Why or why not? What impact would that have on the types of hardware and software that are the most in demand? I would believe that desktops will still be in use but people will prefer to use their phone or laptop to search the web. Is technology going to change our future, absolutely! But we control that technology so it will be up to the people to decide how much we want to use it in our futre. I think it would have a huge good impact on software and hardware programs out there. I say that because in order to use our phones or laptops we need certain operating software.
