Poll: Will keyboards still be around in 20 years?

You're asking several questions at the same time here -- keyboards vs. other input devices (voice? gestures? telepathy), QWERTY keyboards vs Dvorak, physical keyboards verses on-screen, etc. Can you clarify the poll, or is it too late?

Polling QWERTY v Dvorak is splitting hairs. If I asked each of the people in my (reasonably sized) office what a Dvorak keyboard was, I reckon less than 10% would know what I was talking about.

That said, yes, the question could have been simply asked "will the keyboard be the primary input device in 20 years?"
