Good point. Kinda like the animators at animation studios that refused to move to the computer for their work, where are they all now? As technology progresses, people eother adapt or get left behind.
I'm actually somewhat sympathetic to those guys, at least because an older relative of mine was a skilled mechanical engineer who simply could not make the transition from pencil-and-paper drafting to CAD software despite trying very hard. He had the common "old people have difficulty using computers" problem despite actually having a great deal of interest in the new technology.
With that said, he was out of a job whether or not he deserved that.
I'm not saying they deserve to lose their job if they don't learn the new tools, I'm just saying technology isn't going to wait because some people get mad about it, you know?
I personally love the look of old hand drawn animation compared to the new computer-made stuff. But there is no denying that the pay-to-work-effort ratio is drastically better for animators now because of computers. Animators that learned the new tools don't have to work as much as they used to before computers, especially if comething needed changes, and thus get better pay for the amount of work they have to do. Same idea with farmers when tractors were invented, many situations where the same idea applies.
And the thing about art is that there will literally always be a market for human created art. Even if people have to pay extra for it, they will. Real human artists will never not exist.
