Effects on careers

With the Wacom Intuos Pro and everything else alike, I feel as though the art industry is only going to continue to grow. With all of this new technology coming out, it only makes the creation of art more efficient and consistent. Maybe in the future, more businesses will revolve around art and create job opportunities for people like me. Because of all this new technology, things like comic books, video games, movies, and even clothing are being produced significantly quicker than ever before. With fewer mistakes made and all of the tools available to you if you ever get stuck, I'm sure that all of these digital art tools and programs will be a gigantic help in the future because it's definitely helping a lot now.
