We heard last year that PC sales worldwide were in a major slump and then along came Covid-19 and suddenly everyone needed to video conference – gone were the webcams and we had to innovate with converting DSLRs and GoPros to become webcams. Also PC and laptop sales rose.
Microsoft’s new Flight Sim takes this game to a whole new level and its only just been released… gone are all the joysticks. Do yourself a favour and watch a few YouTube trailers (and lock your credit card away).
We even see as fibre rolls out in suburbs that users’ usage patterns change due to their new capabilities and lower latencies. Don’t underestimate the economics of gaming either – it is very big business, and we’ll see more professional e-sports rising up.

You may have to settle for second-hand.
