Imagine things so efficient and automated that capitalism as we know it is no longer necessary. At a certain point, (and we are reaching it) innovation will reach a critical mass meaning that people won't have to think up new web ideas, but the next new gadget or thing will simply be a computational extrapolation. Once technological innovation is pretty much at the helm of AI, there's not much left except everything uniquely human i.e. art, culture, sex, love etc. This is what robots will want us to teach them.

Who will dictate this "digital form?" It is a very intriguing set of ideas... but i think that it is just that. Right now, it is more of a set of ideas rather than a cohesive explanation of exactly why and how these things are going to come to pass. I understand to a degree where you are going with this, but then again I have an unfair advantage above your other readers! I'm not questioning you to simply be challenging: I just want to understand better.
