<i>&quot;What holds us back to the PC is the keyboard. There is simply not a good substitute for the keyboard right now. We could do away with the monitors.&quot;</i><p>I don&#x27;t think we can do away with monitors. I can&#x27;t imagine someone who spends the entire day writing e-mails or memos or marketing literature, or working with spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations (i.e., a large percentage of office workers) wanting to use a tablet-sized screen all day. A large monitor mounted at eye-level has vastly superior ergonomics. (Also, the ability to read tiny text on a tiny screen diminishes with age.)<p>It doesn&#x27;t seem like the author of this article is very familiar with how computers are used in the corporate world. If he wants to extend his bet for another three years (i.e., &quot;PCs will be dead by 2018&quot;), I think the odds would still be against him.
