DavidS:
No, I expect by that point in the future you'll be cyborgishly melded to a Segway to get around. Sort of a crabby, grammar correcting, prescriptivist Segway Centaur.
Burrell, in Natter, offers comfort for those who STILL haven't watched that show with The Rapture looming:

I ordered a keyboard protector right away, and it should be delivered in a couple of days.
