In the days of the old masters a great deal of skill was needed to portray a person / landscape , then came the photo and likeness was a matter of course ,from collodium "we " evolved to better/easier/safer darkroom techniques ,then came op-art , cubism , Salvador Dali , and painting was "in" again , the transistor amp. pushed the valve amp. away , now we have transistor for every-one and the valve for connoisseurs.Then came Digital, no-more long hours in a darkened room , no-more guilty feelings about environmental pollution , no-more , "is that the correct color rendition " while peering through Kodak wratten filters.
My daughter uses her i-phone for everything , phone calls/photo/music/TV/internet/alarmclock , so will that erase the comp. ?... clocks/watches ?..TV ?..I `m convinced that all those things will continue to co_exist for a long time , the "phone" for everything so-so , and our goodies for " seizing the moment in utmost quality " for all those improvements WILL benefit us Dino`s.
