Over time your statement will no longer be correct.

In that we will get better at design of UI than the morph from the old

green screen to what we have currently.

Sure we will need input devices, but I think that they will change as

well. The lock of the typewriter type of device might break within

the next ten years.

Today you could Blue tooth to another device, maybe in the very near

future you could use your phone's keypad instead? What if you were at

a display at say a trade show. You walk up and touch it to get to the

input UI and your phone was the keyboard.

With that in mind I think that Google and M$ are really pushing

forward with the single OS that works in the tablet as well as the

personal computer (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop)
