“In five years I don’t think there’ll be a reason to have a tablet anymore," Heins told Bloomberg's Hugo Miller and Nadja Brandt. "Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such. Tablets themselves are not a good business model.”

He has a point if Google Glass, and other eye head mounted computers replace tablets as the main way people view information with their eyes because some people like the convenience of hands free wireless gadgets like wireless headphones, speakerphones and wireless  Bluetooth headsets for talking on their phone without holding it.

I think some sort of a keypad, pen, and pad/tablet is still needed for text unless wearable computers can read our minds, and type out words from what we are thinking, or there are lip reading computers which can read people lips while they quietly move their lips.

I don't really think most people have big screens for using apps, programs, and viewing video since big screens are expensive, heavy, and take up a lot of space.

there under estimating tablets and not looking before they leap. 

really old people can't use tablets due to the screen and parents of today are in full support of them. I don't see them advancing beyond a tablet to something smaller or closer to their face. Specially since my mother needs bifocals to see.

I read there would be a Google Glass store which will sell Google Glass, and workers in the store which adjust Google Glass to work with people who wear glasses.
