Yes I think that the vast majority of people will be more consumers of information and more complex tasks will be performed with software wizards or apps. However the current web and software experience from phones or tablets can frustrate some people with what you see is not what you get, odd behaviors or simply fat fingers which is still an issue for human computer interaction on phones and tablets.

But when you project potential future technologies, such as universal gesture control, full voice control, holographic displays, projection display, augmented reality and virtual reality then you start to get into the realms of a future reality where "fat" computers will not be needed by the vast majority of people.

You could end up in a whole different paradigm where tablets are superseded by some form of augmented reality or projection technology (ala MS experiments with a projected phone on the arm of a participant a true virtual device of light).

Interesting times.
