Will animation exist in 100 years?

Will animation exist in 100 years? I would say yes. 100 years is just about 1 lifetime for a person. Animation is being used to tell stories in a cheaper way and also in ways that is impossible to be done in real life movies. Even movies have to involves CGI animations in some scene. And kids shows are easier to produce using animation on some cute characters. Perhaps animation have advanced by then by it will always remains as the cheaper alternative of story telling for the greater part of imagination.
