At one time, the majority of the computers that people used for business and personal use were stationary. In order to use them, you needed to be sitting at the desk in front of the PC or at the very least, be hardwired into the network in some way or another. With the popularity of laptops, however, this is changing quickly. In fact, many people are using laptops, not only to be able to travel and to take their work with them when they are on the go but also as a stationary computer as well.
