What *is* the trend? In almost all of the above cases, the older technology either experienced a long slump followed by a rebirth with new ideas and a new role, or, it was marginalized into a form aimed at artistic use, not workaday stuff.
No question in my mind, the days of film being the primary photographic tool are oveer for good. But film will never be dead either. It'll just become a nich market thing. And I'm perfectly cool with that.
