16. Digital Predictions One of the more alarming predictions made at last year's Photokina was the suggestion that by 1998, half of us freelance photographers would be out of work as a result of digital technology. With 1998 also being designated "The Year of Photography and the Electronic Image", will it unofficially become known as "The Year of Digital Technology and the Unemployed Photographer?" Mark Middlebrook of Silicon Imaging (who we interviewed for the CD ROM) thinks a more realistic prediction would be 35% fewer freelance photographers in two to five years time, but is at pains to point out that he does not believe this necessarily means fewer photographs will be used. http://www.evening.demon.co.uk/futures.html#implicate
