I'm really hoping qwerty keyboards are no longer a thing.
(for reference, in 2005 you still had to walk into a bank to do most banking)

I imagine that talking or gesturing to the device will be the main way to perform input. who knows how gesture or speech will be picked up by the device ... is it worn like a watch or glasses?
Output from the device will be either projected onto our retina, or displayed on some transparent thing on or in the eyes... eg contact lenses or some kind of plastic in the lens of the eye.

I suspect the form factor of phones isn't going away and that it will be a little bit like cars -- a stable configuration that exists for a good long while.
The particular set of advantages provided by a screen that is about the size of a smart phone will be with us until numeral links are commonplace. Perhaps that happens in 20 years, but I don't think it will.

How few drones there are.
In 20 years I suspect drones will be a huge part of daily life.

That's not very optimistic.
(Or maybe it is if in a "not breathing because I'm a cyborg" sense -- well, but actually I don't want to be a cyborg, so yes, UT's just not very optimistic)

It's a mindset and expectation management. Once you've faced your own mortality and come out non-grumpy (at least most days), you'll be richer for it.

given they can print the dollars they are requiring of us, it seems like this is currently absurd.
