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?

Furthermore, they should work with windmills since there will not be any electricity generation left soon due to abandoning fossil fuel use.
They cried the same cry when we banned whale hunting for lamp oil.

No because fools, I mean people like us. With digital technologies getting cheaper it'll be easier to have high-end sound.
2000 years ,you think the human race will still be here ? Instead of progressing how about regressing...Human race gets to start all over again,if possible. I guess there won't be any Audiophiles around  .Didn't Fred Flintstone have a record player...lol
It seems likely to me that there will be virtual reality systems with goggles and head phones and we can watch the actual performers play their music. Imagine bringing a symphony orchestra right into your room..
