Death of the mouse?

So Bill Gates claims the mouse will be replaced by touch screens.
I’m not so sure myself.
Hand movements are an incredibly expensive part of the user interface. I believe that the more we use computers, the more we’ll type. The more we type, the more we’ll want good keyboards and short-movement methods to select things on the screen.
My 20″ screen is a good foot and a half from my keyboard. I have to stretch my arm to reach it. That’s bad ergonomics.
