My 16-year-old daughter just asked Santa for, and got, a turntable and Abbey Road on vinyl. She loves it. Film will revive too.

It's generally forgotten the huge impact better colour films had on the B&W market by the 1070's, what had once been a mass B&W market became an even larger colour market for consumers with an almost total shift.
In the US companies like Dupont, Agfa Ansco (GAF), Haloid-Xerox pulled out of the market or disappeared. Dupont sold it's German Adox plant and licensed its films to EFKE in Croatia.
The big ranges of paper surfaces had largely disappeared by the 70's, so changes happend years ago, B&W RC papers nearly killed off Fibre papers but there was a revival in the 80's.
There's no need for any more stupid doom & gloom posts, Ferrania are re-entering the market, the Impossible Project is a great example of analog photography's revival. as are new papers from Ilford, new developers etc from Europe.
Fotoimpex in Germany have brought us replacement films and papers to fill gaps left in the market.
I guess for Americans the huge change has been Kodak's almost kamikaze nose dive under the lucratively paid Reres and the rest of his management, team, but at least the consumer division is now British owned by the Kodak Ltd (UK) Pension scheme and has a dedicated team in North America and Europe who are fully committed to the future of analog materials.
Personally I think 2015 brings a brighter future.

Alaris fully committed to the future of analog materials? FYI Ian, this isn't the joke thread.
I mentioned something about The Beetles during dinner in a conversation about John Lennon Airport in Liverpool to a sixteen year old daughter of two of my friends who had invited my wife and I for a meal a few weeks ago, she replied " who ? ", she had never heard of them..

More people will make their own film (and paper).

Attached: Handmade film in a Pentax 645N with a long lens (Auto-everything. Nice sometimes!)
In line with this, we are teaching 2 workshops at GEH this year on full analog materials. One includes a film / plate emulsion and an enlarging paper. See you there?

Film will be with us for years.
Photons will still understand analog photography in the digital world.
Great film cameras will continue to become more affordable for the rest of us.

Someone will predict the end of Kodak. Others who are less sure will at least put it on their next Christmas wish-list to show solidarity 0

16 eh? You'd be lucky if they remembered Van Halen or even Pearl Jam. The Beatles are as ancient to them as Jack Judge and Harry Williams are for us.

One of my son's who a professional electric bass player in his early forties who loves rock says that rock and roll is old peoples music, and the young people aren't interested in it and to them most of the leading exponents are just pensioners.
The Beatles? That was the band the Paul McCarty had before Wings, wasn't it?

My 11 year old daughter lists the Beatles as one of her favorite bands! But that comes from my wife and my influences. If all the kids ever heard was crap, that all they would ever know!
Oh, now what was this thread about again.....
Yes Steve, there used to be a joke at that time that my kids friends used to tell me, Q - what do you call a dog with wings ? A - Linda McCartney

What is the future of my favorite: Fuji Pro 160ns 120 ?
I see it still on Fuji web site but at stores in USA either not available of very expensive ($75) for a 5 roll pack.
I like this because I seem to get consistently good results and it is easier to get onto the spiral than the Kodak ones.

I predict fuji will get out of the CN business and focus their transparency line and B&W since they already pulled their sheet film CN
