I think everything is moving online. Once that happens, laptops will become obsolete too and there will just be publicly available computers everywhere. They will all be able to do the same thing since they will all have access to the same internet.

Would you trust a public internet terminal with your online banking credentials? How about your email, or the login details for the server hosting your startup?
We may be headed towards a world with omnipresent wireless internet access; but we're probably going to carry around our own personal devices for accessing it. (Exactly what form said devices take is an open question, of course, but I'm guessing they will look something like an iPhone.)
