"I believe the photo industry will some day eliminate the processing operation as we know it today. They will dehydrate it - that is, take the water and the mess out of it.The author of the article then seems to mock the very idea with a flippant comment about crystal balls.
"Instead of liquid solutions and time and temperature factors, it would be simpler to deal with a radiation or heat process to activate the latent image.
"The photograph would take his pictures with an automatic camera, wind the film or sensitized material through a box at home or anywhere he happens to be and out would come the strip of finished negatives, transparencies or prints. It is logically and practical and the trend of the industry thinking is in that direction."
If you can't buy a camera or processing box like that, maybe you can shop around for a crystal ball. It certainly makes beautiful pictures.

Well, that's not too far off... Polaroid cameras really took off in the mid-60s, and 1-hour photo places started sometime around the 80s. Once they had wet machines that could process film quickly, the demand for a dry process probably evaporated.
This reminds me of something Jim Morrison said about future music. It will be one person with a selection of machines creating everything.
Polaroid instant photography didn't stay "futuristic" for very long. The company reportedly has stopped manufacturing film for its instant cameras because digital cameras have made them obsolete.
