I agree. In 5 years, very few people will be using anything with a keyboard.

main frames -> mini computers -> desktops -> laptops -> tablets / phones -> ... -> ambient computing.

anyone guess what the ... might be? iWatch?

Nothing beats a keyboard for efficiency of text input.

text input is important because today's computers are dumb and we have to type a lot of text to get basic stuff done.

What if the computer was much more intelligent so you could express yourself more concisely.

Also, what about contexts where your hands are not free? In a car for example?
