Nutshell: People will no longer have any reason to leave their homes or have one-on-one social interactions.

Vision:

Simply that through technology we can now meet future spouses, work from home, and even purchase groceries for delivery to your door, there very well may come a point when it is no longer necessary to leave your house for any reason. Maybe virtual online vacations where you can tailor a trip across Europe in a day, kids will be hooked up to computers for school and play, online classes with virtual teachers, the possibilities are endless.
