Where will B&W be in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 .... years
 
Forecast the future of B&W.

Where do you think it will be in:

5 years?

10 years?

20 years?

50 years?

If there is enough participation the average of the
predictions often turns out to be pretty accurate.

Black and white silver imaging will always be practiced
as an art form. Plus in 1000 years when all those digital
files stored on hard drives and CDs have disappeared,
photos on film (any film) will still be here. Difference
between having a real bird in hand vs two cyberbush birds
that don't really exist to begin with.

I couldn't care less, in 50 years I will either be 6 feet under or too old
to practice it.

Bored to death, Nicholas?

I agree with a previous poster that B&W film, paper and chemicals will still
be around as an art form for the foreseeable future. Widely available -
no - but available.

They already do if you print using platinum and acid free
paper.

The average life span in the West nearly doubled between 1900 and 2000. Some
scientists are predicting not only a doubling again in the human life but
possibly tripling or quadrupling.

Yes & it may mean a commitment of more than an occasional 25 sheet pack
of sample paper on some people's part.
