So what’s the future look like

Can’t help wondering.
young guy that works for me, loves music from early 60’s to 2018. Very knowledgeable about rock, alt rock, classic rock, singer songwriters...band members, etc. great eh?
now the puzzle... he has no idea what it sounds like... very rarely goes to live shows.. plays music at home on computer speakers, Alexa or a tiny Bluetooth portable. 
He sez that’s all his frends do as well. 
If this is the future of music reproduction,
what becomes of Hi-Fi?

I should add.. my kids have the broadest taste in music I could imagine(though broad within rock and pop, my jazz intrigues them bit just for the moment)
theyre beginnong  to get Hi-Fi and why it matters... but they seem to be the exception amongst their friends.

Unlike my employee, my kids do hear the difference.  I think In part they’re intimidated by the cost of even midfi theses days.  So they think of good reproduction as something for someday down the road.

Obviously typing on a phone is not my strong suit.

yes it is easy to think, in part, that  the price of entry that keeps young people out.  I really thought so just a couple of days ago.  then my son showed me what he and his girlfriend could pull together with 1700.00   some used, some new  some lower range ELACS and bingo, not too shabby.
I hope they spread the word.
demo'd with their copy of GD's Reckoning.   Nice.
