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.

History teaches us its usually fairly easy to see what's coming but most of us lack the courage to look reality in the face, preferring to live in our own delusions.

The standard method is to make things more complicated than they really are so we can feel better about not wanting to endure how merely difficult they are.
Offended? Nah! I save that for things (and people) that really matter. Let's just say that I have a knee jerk reaction to useless sniping from posters who make no relevant contribution of their own to a thread, but see it fit to comment about others' contributions; especially when done in a sarcastic way. Now, cool? We'll have to agree to disagree about the definition of that. Cheers.
Now for something that matters:

I nominate that for the list of best posts ever made to this forum.
