I just sold my enlarger misc darkroom equipment to someone who is 20 
something, or perhaps very low 30's. She is taking a film based photography 
class at the local community college and has been bitten buy the bug.

My friend Lars in Denmark teaches photography to 20-year olds, and they are 
extremely interested in film and traditional darkroom work, especially 
medium format. It will remain an "artistic" niche, but certainly it will not 
die.

Cheers,
