Digital isn't going to kill film any more than the automobile killed the

For fun, not for transportation as before.
This will happen with film too. People will use it for fun.
Digital has already killed film when it comes to most commercial
photography, and that was unavoidable.
There are a lot of cowboys who would take issue with horses only being kept
for fun.
They are still very much a working animal.
It also doesn't take a very high tech factory to produce horses, they are
self manufacturing.
The nice thing about a horse is that you can kill it and eat it when you are
done with it.
It doesn't matter what you do to film, it can't be made into a tasty entree.
