Or embedded devices with remote controls and no keyboard at all... Netflix got their popularity by running on just about every device that can connect to the internet and a screen. But those are not replacements for the computer where you manage your queue, they are additions, but you might spend more time with them.
this will not happen now an dnot in hundret years!
I think we are only a few years away from fully usable voice controls which will eliminate any size requirements for your end point device. Keyboard input isn't really that great anyway.
And overwhelmingly, most folks will use keyboards at work or home, unless they have an office with a door they can shut. As I've been saying for 20 or more years, voice computing will never come in: e.g., the employee who's just been fired, walks out of the office and yells, FORMAT c:; YES, YES, YES!!!
And no one's going to want to have to have employees wasting time training a voice recognition system to only recognize their voice.
