I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but don't tell me I didn't warn you...

By 2020, a 7 year old could download an app onto their smartphone and have their photograph displayed on the Smithsonian the next day.

By 2025, the photography industry will become bankrupt and photography will disappear as an art form altogether.

During the first decade of the 21st century, film cameras were replaced by digital cameras. Dedicated digital cameras are now following the same path into oblivion with the advent of high-quality smartphone cameras.

Furthermore (and this is the important part that others often forget to mention)... The law of diminishing returns will result in the commoditization of photographic equipment to the point where a phone's camera is not even mentioned as part of a phone's specifications since every smartphone manufactured past 2025 will have a camera so advanced that any distinctions between brands will become meaningless.

My advice: Don't take that photography degree. If you have shares in Nikon, Olympus, Fujifilm, etc. you should prepare to sell them in the coming years.
