Hi Tim, I agree. I'm pretty sure keyboards will still be around and available in some form. Either a virtual one on the device or a physical one that can be connected to the device, but I hardly think they'll totally go to voice dictation.
for one thing as others have said dictation isn't very good in crowded areas such as stores, offices, or a noisy living room so people will need another reliable form of entry for their devices that isn't effected by background noise. Another reason could be various speech impediments. It isn't something that applies to everyone, of course, but there are millions of people who have troubles speaking in some form or another. Some people are born def and are unable to speak or their speech is a little unclear. There are people who stutter which screws up voice dictation. There probably are others that aren't coming to mind right now and for those people there will need to be an alternative input method besides speech. What I in vision happening is voice dictation methods will improve, become a common or standard way for people to input data into their device, but blue tooth keyboards etc will still be available for those who want or need it. The technology just won't phase out of existence unless there is truly an equivalent input method, and right now I don't see one that works as well as a keyboard for all situations. Cheers!
