I think it will take time, keyboard, when first encounters can be hard to use, saying that, younger people these days have access to a keyboard almost 24/7 whether it be iPads or mobiles that they use.
I'd like to see how kids of this generation can manage using a franking machine [1] or even a photocopier.
Our currently generation 25-40 used floppy disks at some point, now it's just an icon on your software suite [2]. Will this be the case for keyboard in 10 years time? Will the physical version be needed?

- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> now it's just an icon on your software suite I’m trying to remember the last time I saw this icon. Either what I’m working on has “save” as text, is constantly auto-saved or requires Ctrl-S.
- zencash 8y agoI guess this is true too, we're moving so fast with software. A few programes here and there do still utilize a floppy disk as a mark to save something though.
- michaelmrose 8y agoAn actual screen and keyboard are inherently useful regardless of which form factor device its connected to. 10 years time is way to short a time for this to cease being so.
