it's a tool. just like people now use digital cameras and lots of photography is done that way professionally, darkroom photographers have a demand. I imagine that it will be used commercially just as CAD is but there will always be a demand for hand-wroght stuff. thats not how you spell it but I'm inebriated, so...
