Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like?


Seems like in the past 25 years audio has changed so much - cassettes, cds, servers, hard drives...... composite speaker materials..... network servers..... surround sound - AV systems.....
One can only wonder what systems will consist of 25 years from now.
Clearly there's a trend towards computers meshing with TV/Audio...
I wonder what audiophiles will utilize for components, source material and technologies.
Some aspects of audio become obsolete ex) cassettes yet others like turn tables - LPs, tube based components seem to evolve and endure.

If the US continues on its chosen course of playing world policeman there will be none.
Here anyway.
If I'll be arround in this world, I'll still be spinning some records for sure.
Not sure on which TT, but I bet I have plenty enough to play with: 2 TT's in main rig Michell/Technoarm; Empire 591/AT 5001; 2 Technics 1200 MK2 - stock arms and 2 Technics 1210 red/blue duo color with stock arms for parties. I DJ on 4 TT's at a time: 2 have scratch setup and 2 have playback setup
DJ digital playback usually used for breaks with pre-mixed sound effects.
Will there be any old-school DJs in 25 years? Why Not?
Who knows, maybe Technics or other brand will come up with even more versatile new model for DJ turntable... 25 years isn't too far to the future and one will know where to find mechanical analogue media among the digital clouds.
I'll be in my 80's. If my ears still work I hope to still be hearing live concerts. I think I would be content with my present speakers. I expect improvements in the electronics by then but have no inkling as to where technology will take us.
The only music available to the high end, will be 2 million different enhanced versions of 'Kind Of Blue'. Including those on laser cut 78 rpm titanium lps.

Cheers
