Polaroid was really only being used for truly instant applications (like temporary identification) or "private" situations. They also don't mention that polaroids don't last longer than a year or two without degrading so they end up being thrown out - and they aren't exactly biodegradable. Polaroid is iconic though. It'll be missed - but they are developing the instant digital: Directly from camera to frame.
