Apart from the Ctrl and Context Menu keys, one more thing will survive almost century and a half - social gap between PC and MAC users.
Poor people will use PC with VGA ports. Matt Damon is abusing something that looks like floor model notebook from Wal-Mart:
Rich people will still be attracted to shiny rings and MACs. Option, Alt, Command and all important MAC keys are going to withstand 140 years of change:
Forget high-level languages. Learn assembler! In year 2154, CEO of a big company is using his transparent monitor to move bytes between registers. We are all happy to see 32-bit x86 architecture with EAX, EBX, ECX and EDX registers survived all those years:
Yes, rich people will have see-through monitors. Sounds like social networks distraction is replaced with more physical one “Why are you walking behind my monitor?” kind.
Evolution of user interface is definitely overrated. As we are learning from Elysium, Windows 8 tiles are going to be reverted back to DOS command prompt. Sorry Microsoft, “Circle of Life”. But at least, good news for you, no Google Chromebooks in the movie!
