IBM的个人电脑(PC)联合发明人马克·迪恩(Mark Dean)
　　新浪科技讯 北京时间3月20日上午消息，来自IBM的个人电脑(PC)联合发明人马克·迪恩(Mark Dean)表示，PC的时代几乎已经结束。在重要性方面，PC已经被手机取代。PC未来的命运将会像曾经的打字机一样。

　　迪恩自1980年开始供职于IBM，拥有3项与第一台PC相关的专利。他还曾领导开发了ISA总线技术。目前，他是IBM Watson研究中心的技术战略副总裁。

　　迪恩近期在接受采访时谈到了以下观点：

　　- 他对于苹果CEO史蒂夫·乔布斯(Steve Jobs)有关当前已经进入“后PC时代”的看法表示赞同，但同时表示，相对于iPad等平板电脑，手机将发挥更重要的影响力。手机最终有可能取代钱包、护照和普通照相机。

　　- 他认为，社交网络工具最终将进入企业。

　　- 他预计，由计算机制作的虚拟人物将出现在电影和电视节目中。这主要是指带人工智能和独特个性的卡通人物。

　　- Facebook创始人马克·扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerburg)对于隐私问题的认识是错误的，人们将会永远关注隐私问题，并越来越厌恶目标性强烈的广告。(邱越)

He is wrong, miserably.

The title is simply misleading.
He's merely one of many inventors of IBM PC.

He's not qualified to be PC发明人 that's too big an honor to him.

The first such desktop-size system specifically designed for personal use appeared in 1974; it was offered by Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems (MITS). The owners of the system were then encouraged by the editor of a popular technology magazine to create and sell a mail-order computer kit through the magazine. The computer, which was called Altair, retailed for slightly less than $400.
The demand for the microcomputer kit was immediate, unexpected, and totally overwhelming. Scores of small entrepreneurial companies responded to this demand by producing computers for the new market. The first major electronics firm to manufacture and sell personal computers, Tandy Corporation (Radio Shack), introduced its model in 1977. It quickly dominated the field, because of the combination of two attractive features: a keyboard and a cathode-ray display terminal (CRT). It was also popular because it could be programmed and the user was able to store information by means of cassette tape.
Soon after Tandy's new model was introduced, two engineer-programmers—Stephen Wozniak and Steven Jobs—started a new computer manufacturing company named Apple Computers.

        In 1976, in what is now the Silicon Valley, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created a homemade microprocessor computer board called Apple I. Working from Jobs’ parents’ garage, the two men began to manufacture and market the Apple I to local hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts. Early in 1977, Jobs and Wozniak founded Apple Computer, Inc., and in April of that year introduced the Apple II, the world’s first personal computer. Based on a board of their design, the Apple II, complete with keyboard and color graphics capability, retailed for $1290.
Some of the new features they introduced into their own microcomputers were expanded memory, inexpensive disk-drive programs and data storage, and color graphics. Apple Computers went on to become the fastest-growing company in U.S. business history. Its rapid growth inspired a large number of similar microcomputer manufacturers to enter the field. Before the end of the decade, the market for personal computers had become clearly defined.

In 1981, IBM introduced its own microcomputer model, the IBM PC.
