I would like to meet the people who support this contention

"The rough consensus was that "few lines divide professional time from personal time," and that professionals are happy with the way work and play are "seamlessly integrated in most of these workers' lives.""

People are not all that happy to have their work life intrude on their personal time whether it is seamlessly integrated or not. I think the "consensus" is pure horse hockey. Maybe these experts who talk amongst themselves should get out of their Mom's basement, take a break from twittering with each other and observe how people really work in a physical setting.

I think we will see more use of touch screen and voice recognition, but as another poster mentioned, not all workplaces are amenable to voice commands and many people type much faster than they talk. Computing will get better, there will be things happening many of us did not think of, but let's not forget that most of us have to implement in the real World.
