Back in 2019, I wrote a piece for Wired making the rather obvious prediction that in time robots would take over from people in banking just as they have done in manufacturing. Was I predicting that you would be served by an android when you go into your local bank branch a decade from now? Of course not. That would be ridiculous. For one thing, you won’t be going to a bank ten years from now under any circumstances — whether in the metaverse or the universe — and nor will anyone else.
(You’ll be explaining “going to” do banking to baffled youngsters just as you were explaining “dialling” a phone to the first generation of internet children ten years ago.)
