I recall when it was so highly touted that 'qwerty' was seen as a soon-to-be forgotten relic.

I type Dvorak and LOVE it but I don't expect it to ever take over. Anyone can use it on any computer without even having to pay. It makes typing feel like you have psychic powers. I would expect typing to die out within 20 years for most people as voice tech becomes much better. I am sure that some will continue with typing but only the pros of certain fields.

I'm not convinced.

Even if voice tech were perfect now I simply *can't* use it for writing on the bus; taking notes in meetings, conferences or sermons; or even typing in bed like now with wife trying to read beside me.  And I hardly feel like a pro at anything.  

How far are we from subvocalisation or the 'hush hood' I vaguely recall from SF of days gone by (maybe Asimov or Heinlein)?
