If you follow the latest technology, then this is a question of limited lifespan. I have seen impressive alternative input methods and am convinced that typing will rapidly be obsolete once we manage to use brainwaves as input method. But even with today's tech: speaking to your computer has become quite far and typing isn't the only haptic input possible today.

Going blind is a bigger problem unless you develop for other blind people.
The reason is quite obvious: If your average user requires visual feedback & structure, a blind developer will always lack the ability to compete with "seeing devs"
