Digital BW, The Print

One more thing to worry about:  This list itself is an exception to the
trend.  Many with high-end gear are imaging only for the web.  With a 24"
LCD what more do you need...We have a new news photog in town who has never
used film, or printed in a darkroom.

That is an astute observation . . . I remember watching and reading sci-fi
when I was younger and frequently coming across the mention of vid panels or
the equivalent on which you would see your art. The rapid advance of plasma
TV and the lowering of the price would possibly indicate the imminent death
of the ink jet print . . . we would have our sci-fi "etch-a-sketch" to put
our work on . . . a cool idea . . . however, I still prefer the concept of a
real print or a real canvas. Even now I prefer to read from the written page
as opposed to a crt or lcd screen.
