Problems notwithstanding, I depend on Zoom now. Maybe 100 years from now it will be thought quaint that we flew around in metal tubes to meet people in person.

- rkoten 6y agoWith the prospect of brain interface development in the next 100 years, it's possible we'll be able to have a meet-in-person perceptional experience while being physically away, virtually wherever.
- owl57 6y agoMeet-in-person perceptional experience implies at least an order of magnitude less latency than Zoom. And such low-latency communication will probably be good enough with traditional video calls, novel brain interfaces will add less value. And yes, latency physically can't be good enough if users are on different continents. So, interestingly enough, this future synchronous communication tech can have some de-globalization impact.
