In the latest of Deloitte’s report, entitled, 2016 Canadian Technology, Media & Telecommunications Predictions, there is a little bit of news for everybody and some may be surprising. For instance, the millennial generation of 18-24 year olds is the most pro-PC group of all age groups in 2016. Even though they are certainly the ‘smartphone generation,’ they will purchase and use a PC more than any other age group in 2016. Deloitte’s survey shows that 25-percent of the 18-24 year old Canadians intend on purchasing a new laptop in 2016. In fact, 93-percent have access to a laptop versus the 91-percent that have access to a smartphone – of course this will soon change. They consider the PC and smartphones as compliments to one another, not a replacement.
