Algorithms will judge and categorize human beings in the next decade more and more, I assume.

Every application will pre-sorted into a drawer by an algorithm in the near future.

Hiring personal to actually interview people will become too expensive once these "solutions" to put customers, business partners, citizens even potential spouses into a drawer are cheap enough.

We'll soon live in a world where algorithms will decide our fates based on the prejudices they were fed with. And microscopic changes to fight this because even when you contact someone it will most likely also be addressed with an algorithm. Googol already implemented this on a massive scale for its customer "support" (more: the thingamajig they keep the people paying them off their asses with).
