Yeah, I don't think spoons, and sandwiches, and socks are going to change that much. Most 'tech' changes a couple of times in a single lifetime (this was true even several hundred years ago), but the basics stay largely the same. Language is how they'll catch you

Who knows.

Maybe sandwiches have been completely forgotten and you can make a nice little business out of making perfectly ordinary sandwiches.
