If we do! I doubt we will stop typing in general for a very long time, if ever. Nothing even comes close to the precision and speed that typing usually affords. That said, I was *really* impressed with a tablet PC running Vista that I played with the other day. I was amazed at the handwriting recognition and one-note---things have certainly come a long way in the last few years. I didn't test its ability to recognize math, though.
