I don't know what short-distance data communications will be like in 2050, but we know it will be called USB.

USB-G 4.6 SuperSpeed Plus, but the cables will still just be used for charging your random electronics and won't even work for that half the time.

…because Staples has replaced Amazon and Temu, which both went bankrupt in 2042, and all usb-c cables are made in Papua New Guinea with only 1/4 of the pins connected to wires. Some things never change.

[dotancohen]

I know not with what technology 2030 will use, but 2040 will use USB sticks and stones.
