What defines the PC for ordinary consumers is not the big black box under the desk, though. It&#x27;s the keyboard, the mouse, the displays.<p>The smartphone may replace the box, but it won&#x27;t replace the peripherals. Those will continue to be extremely desireable features for many tasks, because they are far more ergonomic and speed up many types of work.<p>I predict a smartphone docking station on every desk within 5 years, both at home and at work. Maybe a docking station on every couch, too, tablet form-factor.
