3 Questions on New Media Art

If internet becomes the major power behind art, does art become more transitory?

Will there be a place for traditional media in the future, and how will that affect jobs connected to traditional media...will versions of the same jobs be replaced with new media versions?

Will art in general become more electronic than traditionally based? How well will the new "new media" forms of painting and drawing and other traditional practices replace the old?

Will art become more accessable to the everyday life, to the everyday person, will everyone be considered to be an artist?

The internet is making the ways in which the public accesses art that much easier as time progresses. People no longer need to go into the city and go to a museum to see current art, because now many artists are putting it stright up online. I think its much easier now for the layman using YouTube to consider him or herself an artist, but it doesn't mean its true. There are a lot more facests to "being an artist" than simply being good with a video camera. There is process involved, and the "why's" of making are very important. History, craft, all these other things that work together to build the artist. So no, I do not think that everyone will be considered an artist.
