Nobody ask me but I think that in a few decades there will be a very
high-end market for entirely analog (wet-darkroom) photographic works
and it will be because there will be few practitioners of the art,
materials will be hard to come by, so the work will be seen as clearly
the work of an individual, an artisan and will represent some hours of
that person's work which went into making a particular print so that
even if many are made there will be differences between them (an
essential part of what will lend the print its value.)

So train those kids so they find joy in the darkroom. With talent and
luck they could step into a very lucrative world.

Of course I could be TOTALLY wrong. But look at the price of hand-made
high quality furniture these days. It's not just the wood that gives
it value.
