Response to Zach's Response

Question: Is there another way of looking at this more optimistically and is the possibility of art dying out like a fad in the future plausible?

I think there are two groups that this question is applicable too. I know the world isn't divided into two different groups, but we can safely say that there are those who take time to smell the roses, and those that don't.

The first group enjoys thinking through things, and taking time to think. The second are those that enjoy the movement of things without stopping to wonder.

To the first group perhaps, technology would not crush or overshadow art. Those who are sincerely interested, would use technology to seek out art, and not do away with it. With the second group, art has a very high possibility of dying out, because it is not on their highest level of importance-- not a priority amongst facebook, twitter, etc.

Question: If art ceases to exist, what do you think will be the first thing the human race will lose?
