"What's bigger than digital cameras smart phones and tablets?" 

The motion picture industry. That's what's bigger and has been keeping
film alive for years. People still go to the movies and most of those
ffeatures are still projected through film. Not too many theaters have
gone 100% digital yet but with this Kodak issue, it may happen sooner
than previously anticipated.

If Kodak goes under film usage is going to become a strictly boutique
market. Prices will probably skyrocket. Good times.

I need to learn wet plate one of these days.
