We'll find out in 2018 apparently.

  I'm voting for keyboard. Just because I don't see how they could do it while still keeping it nice to type on. And of all companies, Apple seems likely to do so successfully if anyone is even capable of doing so. And if it is possible, I want to see what the heck it would be, and who would see it coming? I mean, heck, they already went to the opposite of what people kept saying they needed on their mice / trackpads - now there's no button.

    Many many people do not use their optical drives. I used to use my optical DVD drive all the time, but in past 4 years I've barely touched it. It's use has dropped considerably. The keyboard no so much so.

    I'm voting that keyboards will be around for as long as there is a physical input mechanism of any sort. The throughput and flexibility with keyboards is just too great to get rid of completely.

      Precisely why I want to see someone successfully supplant it. We're so wired into thinking we need a keyboard, that it's nigh-ideal, that I really want to see something better because I can't think of what it could possibly be.

  No, I think we found out today; it's hard drives. Hard drives are the new tape decks. After that it's unclear.
