I'm not sure if most websites would still be primarily made on a desktops or laptops since I read countries like China, India, and other places with a lot of poor people are using phones, tablets, and mobile and cheap devices to post, and upload stuff to the internet to share on their websites, and forums, social networks, and blogs.

Plus, news websites would need to be live, and breaking news in real-time rather then reporting news from yesterday, or a few hours a go, so reporters might just use some a phone app which can turn their spoken voice into text to quickly post onto a website to be on the news scoop first before their competitors.

These days, Twitter, Facebook, YouTibe, and Reddit is where breaking news and live news is usually first posted online by spectators at news events with phones.

The Raspberry Pi which is a $35 computer is also fast enough to edit HTML text files, pictures, and scripts and to post to websites which uses a CMS like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal from a web browser. Plus, it runs on Linux, so user won't need to pay expensive license fees like Windows, and Mac OS X. However, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor would cost extra unless the owner of the Raspberry Pi already owns a HDMI or RCA monitor or TV, and have a keyboard and mouse.

I think laptops will stay popular for a long time to come.

I think most Laptops sold from the end of 2012-2013 in the US and western countries would be tablets with a detachable keyboard, or a laptop with a touchscreen built-into the laptop screen, so it is compatible with touchscreen apps, mobile websites, and programs.

The Microsoft Surface Windows 8 RT is a good example of a hybrid tablet and laptop.

or

People just buy a cheap tablet like the Google Nexus 7, and buy a keyboard case for it to turn into a cheap 200 dollar laptop, but with a touchscreen.

I think I can safely say there will always be a screen, a keyboard and a mouse to be used when updating anything.

I read recently that Robot/Software Journalist which is a computer which use software to write stories about sports can write stories based on facts from a feed to post online. Maybe in the future, some company will make a webcam which can write a story based on whar the webcam sees and hear from the camera, and a microphone, and post the video, audio and text to a website in real-time.

A while back, All Things Considered brought you the story of a breakthrough technology: the robot journalist.

Okay, so it's not really a robot. It's actually a software program. You feed it data, it processes that data, and it spits out a news story putting those numbers you gave it into context — just like you'd see in your local newspaper.
