I think touch has great potential for certain computing devices no doubt. But for someone sitting at a desk doing something productive I don't think touch is any more productive in that situation. I am sitting here at my desk thinking would I want a touch screen monitor and all that or would I rather have a mouse? I think for desk computing the mouse will be around a long time. I can rest my arms on the desk and use only my fingers to move the mouse. Having a touch screen would require me to constantly lift my arms to make a move and well when you are moving through many apps that just doesn't seem like fun at all.
So yeah for certain things its the greatest fit for others not so much. Its not really a one size fits all solution. Thats just my opinion.
