I still use hard drives, because it has a very good price to storage data ratio. I equate the SSD to a ROM disks that we had back in the 1980s for computers, the ROM disk had the operating system and programming languages like BASIC built into it. I use SSDs to store the operating system these days, but the programs are stored on hard drives because it is the most cost effective way to store data. I guess it is more like a generational thing, the younger generation will be more accustomed to small form factor PCs, smartphones, tablets, and laptops. For me, I prefer to use a computer on a desk with a keyboard, large monitor, mouse, and a large tower on the side.
In the future, we will certainly see less and less desktops PCs, because most people don't need a lot of power to do the everyday things they do, like surf the internet, go shopping online, check email, etc. For people who do actual work on computers, like computer programming, CAD(Computer Aided Drawing), video editing, modeling, store massive amounts of data, and other tasks like these will still use desktop computers.
