Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?


Imagine audio technology in 2,000 years.

Maybe your stereo is the size of a deck of cards. Speakers are invisible. Cables are not used. Active room treatment built into the walls.

Is that the end of our hobby and fascination with audio gear? 
Is our identity in the big blocks of metal and wood? What happens to us?
Best,

Climate change is not going to be halted unless miracle happens. I read on the subject and the chances are not good, to put it mildly. Adapting to climate change is another matter, very very difficult with big losses.
As for audio in 2000 years, hard to tell, there must still be musicians and music lovers, possibly some audiophile too. But where brain implants or other in essence invasive things start humans as we know them end.
Frank, great post. But I wouldn’t blame politicians for everything, they are not worse than average person and reflect them.
Terrifying perspective.
