It's funny, when synthesizers started getting used by the general public, back
in the 70s-80s, people feared it would replace the piano and even other instruments.

Synths are here to stay, obviously and are common musical instruments now.
Now we're fearing software will replace them.

Pianos are 300 years old, but people are still using them...
