An imagination that seems very reasonable to commenter but wildly off-base to everyone else.

I'd personally bet more on a resurgence of typewriters and film in the next decade or two over deeper integration with the increasingly contrived electronic world.

Now what makes you think that?

I don’t agree with OP at all, but I also see no indication of typewriters or film coming back, except as a retro novelty.

I am hopeful for smaller less rent-seeking software shops to get a foothold while the big players chase statistical models.

Have you used a typewriter or film recently? They’re terrible to use compared to electronics in practically every way and, I’m my opinion, only exist as a form of retro-fetishism.

Sure thing, except no. The only assertion that is wildly off-base is yours.
