Consumer boom. Desktops slide.

by Richard McKinnon on February 4, 2006 07:20AM (EST)

There's been an 8% rise in consumer electronic purchase in 2005 says the NPD group. Winners were the big TVs, plasma and LCD; MP3 players (iPod); digital cameras still sell well and although computers keep selling well, particularly laptops, the plunge in desktop price means that the value of the sale for this item is declining. (ie volume up, price down) That means desktop computer power is commoditizing at the lower end.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
