It's an age old tale. The march of technology won't be denied. There's a paradigm shift afoot, and the old 20th century-based architecture that so many of today's industries are based upon is beginning to buckle. Just as the end of feudalism brought about a new economic system, and the Industrial Revolution wrought a new complexion to manufacturing, so has the Age of Computerization brought on new questions regarding old societal roles. Animators can no more stop computers from taking their jobs than textile workers could stop mechanical looms from taking theirs a couple of centuries before. No one was able to stop the railroads in order to save the stagecoach lines. No one was able to stop the automobile in order to save the railroad lines.
