My prediction is that by 2040, Windows and your entire online existence as a... "normie" will be encapsulated within walled gardens via client access almost entirely.

Those of us still able to host anything will be doing it with ebay finds and crowsourced parts.

...but this is but one of my many branching possible timelines, maybe we get the "America goes KEN mode" timeline, "Mother nature rolls her sleeves up" or the "Humanity finally stands up for itself and realizes a leftist/socialist utopia" timelines. There's always the "China sics robot dogs with machineguns on everyone" timeline.

Hell, maybe a blend, idk.

Sir, this is a Wendy's. The only blend I know of is the coffee. (J)
