I am with you all. I was an early adopter of Penmap and digital Survey. but still know how to use a dumpy and a tape. I took to Photomodeller from V1... and helped in development... but still draw many buildings by hand... sometimes with both.... I draw plans by hand, but sometimes use tech to ortho rectify and create plans from that. I have a set of Rotring Pens and also CorelDraw and Illustrator software
In general... it is knowing how to use the tool, when to use it, what the pro's are and what are the cons... when is it using a sledgehammer to crack a nut and when it is using a popgun against an elephant (sorry Elephant - but you will be ok... it's only a popgun)
I think Martins book will be helping people to understand these processes and give a full picture... rather than just say... must know how to press button on glopita machine that goes beep. ( Survey Level 2)
So... what about Photography?
