Let me propose a hypothetical future scenario: Let's say that we've since developed an advanced method of brain-to-brain (B2B) communication, to which, naturally, has become quite popular among the younger generation of that time.



Now let's say that 60 years have passed since that time, resulting in around 3 different generational shifts after the previous "younger" generation. That means 3 different generational shifts that have all accommodated, integrated, and relied on B2B communication - or even innovational advancements from the first generation of B2B communication - as opposed to verbal-based communication.



By that time, I believe it would be safe to assume that biological changes (however micro they may be) have occurred in the function of our face. Physical appearance will likely have not changed at all, as that would require a substantially longer period of time than that of 3 generational shifts.



Upon physical inspection, everyone would appear somewhat neutral to everything. Very little emotional expressions on the face, limited use of their mouths (eating, belching, sneezing, etc. will obviously remain the same), with no intention of verbally communicating anything to another person.



Everything to which is communicated from one person to another (or even to a hive of connected minds) would likely be done so through a combination of B2B communication and brain-to-computer (B2C) communication, which are then translated into virtual manifestations within our physical environment using advanced mixed reality, i.e. futuristic emojis.



In foresight, when spectating this future scenario from our present day, how might we judge that society using our present-day standards? With little to no understanding of how these technologies work, all we'd see are people who express little-to-no emotions and don't even communicate with one another at first glance. The whole situation would appear and feel fantastically alien to us.
