The Future of Communication
Emerging technologies are paving the way for a future where traditional text-based communication could be replaced by more immersive and intuitive methods, such as video and audio. This shift could lead to a society in which subsequent generations may not read or write as we currently understand it, instead opting for forms of communication that engage multiple senses. The speaker emphasizes that the rapid evolution of technology has historically transformed the way we convey and share information, citing examples from ancient alphabets to the creation of printing presses. As we edge closer to this transformation, it becomes clear that richer, more expressive mediums may soon overshadow the written word.
