Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like?

Seems like in the past 25 years audio has changed so much - cassettes, cds, servers, hard drives...... composite speaker materials..... network servers..... surround sound - AV systems.....
One can only wonder what systems will consist of 25 years from now.
Clearly there's a trend towards computers meshing with TV/Audio...
I wonder what audiophiles will utilize for components, source material and technologies.
Some aspects of audio become obsolete ex) cassettes yet others like turn tables - LPs, tube based components seem to evolve and endure.

The more we advance, the more there'll be folk like us clinging to the only viable means of enjoying music. Think of us as "sticks in the mud," doing our duty to save audio from itself; from being wholly treated as just another commodity.

Lots of sobering thought here and thanks to Sounds_ Real_Audio for making me laugh.

All the best,
