I'm listening to coverage from the ICON6 conference over at Escape From Illustration Island, specifically the lectures on the future of publishing.
The kind of applications they are talking about will be intensely expensive to produce because of all of the content... this may be a real boon for artists. The publishers won't save any money because they'll be taking funds they investing in publishing and distribution and spent that instead on more and better art, animation and multiple design applications. This could actually right the imbalance that we've seen between art and publishing for half a century.
Artists will be in a very important position for the next decade, setting the pace for things that will follow.
P.S. THANK YOU GOOGLE!!! For changing the image search interface. Soooooo much bettter
