I know this is a broad question and lots of stuff needs to be defined better for a resolution. This question arises from someone's comment on whether keyboards will still be around in 10 years and only used by hippies, after seeing the latest chatGPT voice module.
majority = in the US and europe
computers = murky; the primary device
keyboard = can be real or virtual (on-screen, or ... virtual, like in headsets)
