There will be a generation native to decentralized technologies, AI, robotics and quantum that will study present reality through a historical lens and be absolutely aghast that humans would burn & cut down trees to communicate & transfer daily information.

They may romanticize the tactile nature of our methods like holding a book or feeling the grain of paper as a lost art much like we cherish vinyl records or Polaroids. Still, their lens will be shaped by their own tech’s limits which future generations might too find primitive.
