Nonesense, that presumes that everyone can afford a digital camera and
all the accessories that need to go with it (batteries, storage cards, etc).
The number of sales of disposable cameras alone is a testament to that and
will be enough to justify the existence of 35mm film for a very long time.
Commercially you're probably correct, but at the consumer level I don't see
film disappearing in the next few decades.
