"Ted Azito" wrote in message om... "Mark M" snip -This would be similar to what used to be widely referred to as "touch-tone phones." While they are still called this sometimes on those annoying menu lists while waiting on hold, people no longer feel the need to distinguish between rotary dial phones and touch tone. AFAIK there are still half a million people or so in the continental United States on dial-only CO service. This is convenient to remember because big companies still usually provide a human default interface for these-or people who pretend they are-so if the phone menu gets you nowhere try pretending you have a dial phone. That is true, but irrelevant to my point, which was simply that by 2030, I believe digital cameras will be so dominant that people will simply call them "cameras" rather than "digital cameras." The "prefix" will be used for the reverse...as in "film cameras."
