KR,
The standard will continue to rise for the masses. Precision guns of yesteryear were for the elite. Precision guns today are for available to the masses. Fancy today will become standard tomorrow. But there will always be room for better or "best" of the day.
500 yrs ago, the most accurate portraits had to be painted by highly skilled artists. Today, the 7 yr old girl next door has a 10 megapixal digital camera that can pick up that nose hair you forgot to trim and a computer which can send the image to the other side of the world within a few minutes. You can go to a photo studio and a highschool degreed photo enthusiast with little artistic talent can take a portrait of you that rivals historical paintings. Still, wealthy people continue to seek portrait artists to paint them.
