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?

2000 years the last thing humans  will  be  worried  about is audio if the species  still exists.  
If climate change is not halted the last 2 humans left will be eating rats .
When you think that far into the future, I find myself doing so rather often. You realize that the "important" things of today maybe not so important in the grand scheme of things.

I am currently reading my first real book in about 25 years (non-technical book) called:

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
by Yuval Noah Harari

Fascinating how we have all gotten to this place in time. The future will happen.
