True still photography (as in push the button and capture a moment in one picture) is going to be an endangered species very soon.
i think the future is hyperphotography — everything photographed always, in great detail, constantly transmitted and available to anyone; you might call this video, but you will never watch more than a tiny fraction of it, so most tools for working with photographs or video will seem useless; calling out a moment of it will seem trivial; we will give our visual experience over to virtual dumpster divers, most of them automatons, who constantly sift vast heaps of imagery to build the highly filtered montage that humans will experience; only underprivileged people will spend much time looking at their actual physical surroundings
of course hyperphotography is just a prelude to direct abstract visual stimulation in a new language of thought, based less on literal imagery and more on ideas refracted through linguistic filters, forming highly differentiated visual dialects
