I wouldnt believe everything you see on tv - back in the 80s they said that computers would be like humans in this age, but they are still not really that smart (apart from those robo computers)

a few questions:

* "the virtual keyboard is currently used in cellphones": Do you knwo any?

* How much energy do you need to project the mionitor and the keyboard? How do you get this amount of enrgy through your pen pc?

And 2020 is in (roughly) 12 years time, if keyboards and monitors will be a thing of the past, the pen PC better comes next year. In our institute there are a lot of computers older than 12 years (anybody recollects 386??)
