idk fam it's not a given that tech will perpetually advance. 100 years from now we could be back to printed announcements posted in the town square.

And maybe that is the case, but even so, I can’t comprehend that happening given the advancement in the last 100 years. Such an unknown. (Honestly, I think I’d be cool with printed announcements in the town square.)
