and in many cases it's already happening.

Society has yet to see the long term effects of a child who has been hunching over a laptop, since the age of 5.
A quick look around any college campus, will show numerous examples of young bodies hunched over laptops in unsafe postures. Culminating repetitive stain injuries with every keystroke.
They say they don't feel the pain, but you know they will at 40.
And these young adults have only been on the laptop for a few years.
