Do you happen to have a TV? A fine large display for most folks.
For pros (programmers) there will continue to exist dedicated large displays, pro keyboards and whatever else. Look at professional gear of audio or video engineers, or CAD users, they have pretty impressive devices to use with computers. It's just not what mass users have at home.
Fully offline desktop computing will remain possible, much like running a C64 or an MSX machine (possibly in a form of new, much cooler hardware) remains possible. It's just not very relevant.
