While I know plenty of people like those you've mentioned, I still think the further into the future we go the more high speed internet becomes a life necessity.

How much longer will we all have physical offices to work in as opposed to a virtual reality space that emulates the same thing? How many businesses like my own that don't actually have a physical address are there going to be? At what point do business completely stop accepting physical forms of payment? "Cutting the cord" completely is likely to get much more difficult in the future.



>>> How much longer will we all have physical offices to work

Probably for a very long time. Nothing is like actual human contact.

>>> At what point do business completely stop accepting physical forms of payment?

Depends on the business. Some already did - Amazon doesn't accept cash as far as I can see. Some - like your local grocery store - probably never will, because sizable part of its clientele will still have cash.
