 Future of Serial Ports vs USB Ports

Went to Best Buy today and noticed that a newer and more expensive HP
computer has only one serial port (and on the back).  HP computers usually
have two serial ports, one on front and one on the back.  Are serial ports
(RS232) on the way out (to be replaced by only USB ports)?  If so can one
write VB code for a USB port?
