I disagree with a lot of this. The cornerstone of his argument is that Tablets will govern our entire experience with electronics. I disagree. I can't type for shit on a tablet. Until the input aspect is solved, companies will continue to use laptops and therefore keyboard and mouse inputting will still be important for kids to learn.

PC gaming isn't going anywhere, and neither is 'the browser'. Sure, touch-sensitive apps will have the lions share of how we consume, but in terms of work and productivity, the desktop PC can't be beaten until they have some kind of magic ball that enters words based on how I flip it around, or something equally science-fictitious.
