Answer
I see no reason why photography will not be effective in the future. It will probably not be in the film field, but will be digital. Remember that photography is used in many fields, including, making movies, newspapers, books, portraits, even to reproducing the chips which are used in the computers. There will always be a need for the recall of people of their weddings, phases of life of family members. This is what the photographer of the future will continue doing whether he uses a still camera or a motion picture camera, either with film or digital. It is a very sentimental field. The still camera preserves a narrow slice of time and is a time machine of sorts.  In short, I would be very surprised if the field didn't really expand and encompass more areas of life.
Thanks for writing.
