I think it will be the opposite. I see an oblong, handheld, glass-ish-surfaced slab as our QWERTY keyboard (an interface ideology that has now plagued us for 147 years). Solutions to particular engineering problems in particular times and places tend to stick around far longer than technically necessary. (Most of the mechanical limitations that made QWERTY necessary were solved barely a decade after the Sholes and Glidden came about, yet even now the layout appears on our phone screens.)

Qwerty is great for phone keyboards because it puts all the letters for one word nearby one thumb. And I can swipe words without leaving one or the other half of the keyboard. For all that it was about physical limitations of typewriters it's actually a good design for swipable keyboards too because it limits the size of the stroke, reducing the number of characters that could be part of the path.
