On the flip side of the coin, this is the natural way of things. Manuals will die, and eventually automatics will die and we'll have CVT electric cars and no steering wheels because cars will drive us and in 30 years we'll be screaming "Save the automatics!" Is this what you want? It doesn't matter, because it's what we'll get.

It's the evolution of man. From hunters and gatherers to barely leaving our rooms and not having to think for ourselves and checking facebook all day long and having no real friends and everyone has social issues because of the internet taking over etc.
I have to agree with you there. I'd hate to see manuals die and will probably reminisce about the goold old days of manuals, but at the same time I'm anxious to see what the future brings.
