Prediction AI capabilities

People will have to start using devices like smart glasses and audio earbuds, and eventually maybe some sort of neural devices, to increase input and output bandwidth to maybe 100x today's.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Prediction: Statements about events outside the person's control, checked once they fell due: did they come true?

Reasoning

Vague prediction with no horizon and an unclear 'have to' and 100x bandwidth metric.
