    During my lifetime, we’ve enjoyed listening to music via the following:

    Radio
    Phonograph/records
    Reel-to-Reel
    8-track
    Cassette
    Compact Disc
    MP3, wav & other digital player
    Streaming audio

    What could possibly be next?

    This is not a joke:
    I am truly waiting for implants. You choose on your watch or phone or whatever medium you want to listen to a certain something and it immediately starts steaming to your ears, without the need for any visible hardware on/in your ears.

    But for now, I can’t think of anything else.

    You may very well be right, and if so, I will not be receptive to any implants, with the exception of something health-related. Know what I mean?

    Yep. We’ve all seen movies in which technology takes over and tries to destroy us, or as what’s already happening by humans that use hacks and bugs and such.

    I never suspected streaming audio. I always expected the MP3 bitrate to keep increasing, so to answer your question I have no idea!

    Why would you need a watch or phone if you had implants?

    I don't know what the next thing will be but I don't think it will be implants. That would require, if I understand it correctly, a medical procedure that would have to be approved, done by a medical professional, etc. plus people would have to want to do it on a relatively wide basis in order for it to be feasible. Sounds interesting but I don't know yet.

    I like to fantasize about this stuff.
    Without fantasies there would be no innovation.

    No doubt. I'm sure it, or something similar, will be applied some day.

    From the holographic list the implants present you with when you say "hey Siri show me some songs I would like" lol.
