On the other (semi-unrelated) hand, film can be much, much better than digital for some applications. For example, a transmission electron microscope that uses an emulsion film to capture the image compared to a digital capture device - the film can be magnified again with a light microscope later for much more magnification than may be accessible when all of the information is registered to a single pixel. Just something to remind us that there are pros and cons to everything.
