in a way they have got rid of the manual keyboard with a virtual
keyboard. You put this small box down and it puts a keyboard on any
surface. your finger breaking the picture of the letter tells it what
to send. Microsoft has had this xp came out. and lets not forget the
puffer system. That lets you huff and puff your way on a virtual
keyboard shown on the screen for those that are paralyzed.

Hi Josh,
I imagine for students they will write their reports and other lengthy
documents by voice dictation or by using a blue tooth keyboard. I
doubt they'll do so using a touchscreen and will choose to use some
alternate input method for doing their school work on a tablet.
As for hard core gamers they'll probably continue to use dedicated
consoles like XBox, Play Station, Wii, etc for games. Tablets have
games, but nothing on par with what is available for the console. Even
so there are ways to use your iPhone and iPad with a large TV screen
so if someone really wants to they can use their TV etc as a monitor
rather than depending on the built in screen for gaming.
As for virtual machines and tablets dream on. They aren't designed for
that sort of thing. Never were, and I doubt ever will. They have
limited storage capacity, don't have enough RAM and CPU power for
virtual machines, and I just don't see people doing that unless they
absolutely had to.
Cheers!
