I think the only way this is possible is if we invent a new HID... something that will turn the mouse, keyboard and touchpad into something obsolete. In this realm we have a couple contenders which can mostly be seen in Google Glass. Eye tracking, voice commands, motion capturing... All of which is easily many years away from any real world use or adoption. As such, the only way for these devices to converge would be to totally change the game. (s/HID/output device/ and most of the arguments still hold true)
