And the complementary question: What should we not do because it will likely be superfluous in the future?

Examples:

• Learning all kinds of facts (this is already mostly the case thanks to search engines)

• Learning any languagse (except possibly a mainstream language like English if you speak only an endangered language)

• Tagging images on your hard-drive

• Entring data in a highly structured form for 'easy' retrieval (like person data as firs/last name, age, occupation...)
