But film is technology independent. It's definitely Y2K compliant. Everyone would be saying, wow, this is amazing, that you can have this little piece of celluloid, maybe an inch square, that can capture and store a hundred megabytes of information. I mean, people would look at film and say, this is deserving of the Nobel Prize. Silicon is a very poor light amplification system.
Chemistry still produces results well beyond what silicon is capable of.
For some reason the press loves the win-lose battles, one technology defeating another, David beating up on Goliath. Everything has a place, has its time. Because, no doubt, there will be something beyond. I think the interesting thing, here, is the fact that the future of this industry is being posed as a technology debate. I don't really think it is.
