It was reported by a medical rag a few months back that they doubted digital technology would replace silver based x-rays in the near future. Our military still uses great amounts of "old fashioned" silver based photos for I.R. and motion.

Searle, OK, Let us guess there will someday never be another oz of silver used in the photo industry. The nearer term future is also giving a new (perhaps greater) demand for silver. exchange2000.com. The auto battery is near unchanged since 1900. If this new auto battery yields an improvement of 20% in wet cells it would better total of all improvements for last 25 years and most of us will use it in only a couple of years. Auto batteries are HEAVY(!!) if only 5% silver (by weight) it would be more silver demand than world can even guess!
