Every week we like to reflect on the great conversations readers are having
at the Switch -- here are some of our favorites from this week. Timothy B.
Lee _boldly declared the PC dead_
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/01/08/the-pc-is-dead-and-this-years-ces-proves-it/)
. But
not everyone was swayed by his argument. Reader JLF1976 _disagreed_
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/01/08/the-
pc-is-dead-and-this-years-ces-proves-it/?commentID=washingtonpost.com/ECHO/item/1389369916-989-

The PC is not dead, it just isn't the primary tool for the masses to do
trivial things like log onto facebook. If you are just a "consumer", then
yeah, you might not need a PC. But someone still has to produce all that
content you are consuming. And they aren't compiling code on tablets and
xboxes.
There is a paradigm shift, but its only putting the PC back into the hands
of people that use them.

I am an appellate lawyer. I use my PC to conduct legal research, write
briefs and e-file them with the federal courts. Also to send and check e-mail.
I can't read complex, lengthy documents on the screen so I print them out.
What device can do this better than a PC?
