One of the most aggravating situations is waiting in a never-ending line. And don’t get us started on the lines that never seem to move. Instead of being one of those people who cut the line, perhaps in the future, we will be able to completely cut lines.

Long lines, according to some, may be phased out during the next few decades. More companies are beginning to offer the option of having a phone operator call back once a person is available, signaling the end of the virtual line.

Does anyone else recall the days when we all fantasized about owning a library the size of Beauty and the Beast’s, with volumes stacked from floor to ceiling? Perhaps it’s just us. Today, however, anyone can virtually buy as many books as they want, and store them all on a tablet reader like an Amazon Kindle. If you ask us, it’s not nearly as romantic or awe-inspiring.

Physical paper books are becoming less popular, which is unsurprising given the rapid shutdown of bookstores. However, in the not-too-distant future, we may find ourselves in a world where a book must be “turned on” rather than “opened.” And that is a terrifying story.
