They're going to die. Nothing can stop it. Wait until computers can make fully realistic "Machinima." Even actors will be out of a job. It sucks, yes, but it sucked when cars took over horse and buggies. It sucked when planes took over ships. It sucked when internet news took over newspapers.

People are going to hurt.

The best thing to do is start adapting now and stop fighting it.
