I think the most optimistic future we could hope for now is some kind of Star Wars like future where incredible technology could be all around us but the vast majority of people do not participate much in its creation or maintenance, so the technology just becomes part of nature and we see people use it in illogical or anachronistic ways, because they don’t know any better. Life becomes something like the Middle Ages but with shiny tech instead of iron and stone. People can’t read because they just talk to their interfaces or communication devices. Most people have menial subsistence type jobs. And ruling over everything is some vast empire that is cartoonishly evil, because the people running it are as simple minded as the people they govern.

What's coming: Spatial intel (not Apple spatial computing) is a top-down/bottom-up direct perception that everyone participates in. It bypasses binary, renders it obsolete. Makes AI look puny and overbuilt, needs only analog and only partially. Wipes away the symbolic interruption we've been addicted and dumbed down inside.
