Ours might be the last generation that will bother to learn anything, as universal everything seem to be approaching. But I think there will be a premium on all things "human".
If you don’t need to learn anything you also don’t need to do anything. You’re obsolete and taking up resources, and the universe will correct that and make you extinct sooner or later.
That’s post singularity AGI territory, and nobody really knows what that will look like, but I do have serious doubts that there is room for humanity in that world.
There will definitely still be "hobbyists" who will learn languages for the fun of it. And in certain academic fields I guess they'll still expect people to know a language. But yeah, for the ordinary person, what's the point?
As far as education goes, maybe! That's a bolder claim IMO...
