My first day of class in ID the head of the department got all of the sophomores together and told us there were no more jobs in ID… in 1994…
Personally I’d rather design the bike that gets shared than the app, but glad there are some designers out there like to make the pixels work. 
And there are a lot of options and shades of grey to this work. I’ve done some high level UX and visual design for products I’ve worked on with a digital component and then outsourced and managed the actual app design/implementation. With a lot of the standards going around it is pretty straight forward…
but when people tell me that traditional ID is going away I always call that bluff. As far as I know new shoes, forks, sunglasses, watches, snowboard bindings etc come out every single year… putting a sensor pack in them doesn’t make it a new field of work…
