Digital is going to swallow absolutely everything over the next while, to an extent we might find hard to fathom even now.
Our physical resources are dwindling, and our population is increasing, so our opportunities to do what humans do and gain gain gain are running out. If we want to continue to feel that we are increasing our experience and ownership of things we value then those value transactions will come increasingly in the form of digital/virtual transactions.
I dare say there will be less 'websites' as we know them in 15 years time, but far more of the things that everyone does every day which they take value from in some way will be designed, digital experiences. From choosing which TV program you want to watch tonight, to getting your groceries in, to your relaxation time and everything else which touches your life in any kind of resonant way.
There'll be no shortage of work for anyone who knows how to skilfully facilitate human interaction in those spaces.
