I know what you mean. I can imagine a time when Hive is just a bunch of bots talking to each other. But will that really happen? I can't really see the desire to communicate going away. I think a certain portion of people will still want to write manually, or at least semi-manually.
But I can also imagine a time when this tech is so good / integrated that it's virtually reading your thoughts and saying exactly what you want to say in real time. What then?
lol Science fiction will become science fact....I have no doubt about that!
