I think this will surely happen in a generation (20 or so years) and possibly even sooner, say 10 years.

I could see you being right about that frahse. I remember a time when computers were only for the adults in business places like offices and banks. Then when I was in middle school (Jr. High) they started to really introduce them into the classroom. Now you even find them in Kindergarden classrooms. When I was in college they had a lcd screen that could be put on top of an overhead projector and the screen's contents could be projected. I could easily see something like that replacing the old blackboard especially if kids have work stations in the classroom that the teacher can activate if he/she wants a student to work a problem or some such on the board.
