that there will be old heavy iron, vacuum tube units around --- 25 years from now. But, today's lightweight & cheap miniature integrated circuitry stuff... dunno.
I know ppl will be using vintage tube Fender amps well into this century.

Amps used as, essentially, musical instruments, such as guitar amps, are different animals from ones used for standard signal processing. Besides, if your main priority is recording, they've got, as you must know, highly convincing, solid-state guitar-amp simulators that are a lot cheaper than 50W Mesa Boogies and Marshalls. And they can fit on your desk.
If you think solid-state has a doubtful future, I think you're in for a terrible shock.

But, that doesn't mean there won't be a place for tubes.
The life of ss units is not as good as some tube units. More landfill items. Guess throwaway is the future.
