What do I hope will disappear from our lives in the next few years? Social media. Unlikely, but one can dream. Furthermore, I hope AI will disappear. It is a Pandora's Box nightmare, and I cannot believe the short sighted folly of those who bludgeon ahead with it because they can, without learning the lessons of science fiction. We are closer to "Open the pod bay doors please HAL" than anyone realises. As for me, to put it in Dune terms, I'm a full-blown Butlerian Jihadist: "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."
