Reading this article brings back a lot of memories and produced a tear or two.
Future evolution of photography equipment? Every day I get magazines and catalogs with new developments and toys. We are in an age of accelerated refinement and invention.

Great points. I think we sometimes forget, amid all these new toys which are being introduced on an almost daily basis, that back in 1944 people actually could take excellent photographs. In many cases, the quality was better than that of the average run of the mill photo today. The bordered black and white glossy prints the drugstore my grandfather used to get from the corner drugstore from his Brownie look better to me than most of the 4x6 prints we can get today from the local 1-hour minilab.
