PCs will never die as long as people play games on them. And you really cannot use a tablet to do work; as long as there are offices there will be PCs.

Dot Matrix... eh. Yea.... Fuck those things. Fax machines are never gonna die either.

There will be something that looks like a PC, but it might not have all the functionality we've been used to. Probably a keyboard, monitor and mouse, but the internals may be very stripped down. At least for the mainstream; meanwhile the price of a full-blown PC that you can game and program on may go up as their niche becomes smaller.
