Just my opinion.
I heard similar said about the laptop, in its infancy people were adamant that it would never take off, they now out sell desktops.
Similar was said about mainframes.
I can recall countless posts here stating that tablets when iPad was launched would never take off.
Technology changes as does the needs and application of said technology.What reins supreme today is forgotten tomorrow, I believe there will be a continuing need for the traditional desktop, (I don't include all in one devices in this) but that will be a small niche market.
