black and white film will NEVER dissappear dude, not until 50 mega pixel cameras come out, and inkjet printing costs come way down as well. From my personal experience, colour pics in a darkroom is REALLY time consuming, and I yielded no worthwhile result. Digital seems a good way for colour. Black and white though, working in adarkroom with black and white is WAY too much fun. Very magical. I also recommend you guys give it a try, but I wouldn't worry about it disappearing anytime soon. what the hell is that word nplus?
