I talked to several college age art students recently at one of the receptions I attended.
The latest trendy thing is to eschew digital anything, photoshop is anathema, because "anyone can do photography that way and they look so artificial". Of course, they couldn't tell the difference as to which photo was taken with B&W film in 1983 vs which was taken with a Pentax DSLR vs an original darkroom print in 1983 and a digitally produced print of the same negative made two weeks ago when I pulled a couple of prints out of my portfolio. I wouldn't put much faith into a college student's perceptions on technology in art as being particularly mature.
