In 2011 Gartner, a respected technology analysis and research company predicted that sales growth for personal computers would fall from 15.9% growth down to a much lower 10.5%. This decline is particularly significant when taking into consideration that the global economy was in the process of emerging from the worst recession since the 1930s, a period during which growth rates would logically be expected to increase. This predicted decline in PC sales growth has been largely attributed to the surge in popularity of tablet based computers.
