Oracle Time! June 23, 2020 1:52 pm Vitruvius

Since I’ve been in the habit of thinking about the future recently, I’ve decided to combine it with my penchant for asking questions, and want to put this one out there. Consider this a “game” of sorts.

Zoners, judging from your fields of professional experience, I want you to act as “Oracles” and tell me: Where do you see developments in your (ex?)profession going in the next 25 years? The next 50?

I want to get a feel for what the planet looks like as a result, so go nuts with your prophecies!
