For the most part, snacking on fun size computer related infotainment factoids has been plumbed to a depth beyond originally predicted limits, and we've already cycled past buffer overflow multiple times, which is why the cloud has virtualized nearly all abstractions away, to the point that we print cryptography and call it money.
The fabric of society is now this nearly archeological, tattered, stained, badly degraded gauze pad hearkening to antiquity, left over from battlefield effort to stanch some sucking chest wound that obliterated familial and tribal structures during the nineteenth century, amid industrialization.
We talk about politics now, because interloping, invasive, psychologically scrutinizing, behavioral skinner box cloud services and glass slabs of pixel art controlled by theremin UI gestures (we call them "smart phones" even though they aren't really phones anymore) have pretty much ruined what we once called general purpose computing.
Even gaming has been converted to social media by webcamming yourself as you play skit-like bursts of miniature first person shooters in multiplayer arenas, and think of little else but whether people are entertained by your quips and banter.
Soon we'll be filling our bathtubs with nutritious oxygenated slurry, and donning waterproof VR SCUBA gear, in order to literally immerse ourselves into virtualized audience participation platforms, that guide our happy thoughts, as we modulate our brainwaves, in order to earn credits that satisfy the balance of our slurry bill, electric bill and rent, so that we never have to leave the house, not even to ride in self driving cars.
On the bright side, that will very likely bring an end to politics as we know it, since no one will need to leave their bath tubs, as this new model of civilization progresses.
