Nobody can foretell the future, so we can only speculate that, based on the trend of the last 10 years, computers will become smaller, faster, more connected, and might be moving away from the traditional keyboard-mouse-and-screen paradigm of "traditional" personal computers or laptops.

Consider modern smart phones or tablet computers, or experimental models built into a pair of glasses for an example. Today, these are devices ideal for consuming content. It is probably safe to assume that future generations of these devices will be even smaller, even lighter, even faster, with longer battery life and better network connectivity in almost any location including fast-moving trains or airplanes.

There will probably always be a PC-like group of devices, which are better suited for creating content such as graphical work, computer software, or simply writing a text like this one. Personally, I think it likely that these devices continue to use input devices similar to keyboard and mouse (with the possibly more wide-spread addition of voice input). However, I think it possible that computers aimed at content creation will move towards using large touchscreens, possibly laid out flat on a desk rather than standing up, similar in the way of high-end graphics tablets or some experimental devices examined by Microsoft.
