The oil probably ends in 50 - 100 years, the rest becomes difficult / expensive to extract.
Then the horse and a Carriage probably become plain and cars be unusual.
Intenet probably does not die, so Pentax, in cooperation with Zenit, can sell drawings on film box cameras.
To put it all in perspective:
They were saying same kind of thing when I was in college - 50 years ago.
Then price went up.
People found more reserves.
People learned to extract oil from mined 'oil shale'
People learned to extract oil via 'fracking' {which is why trains now carry extracted oil through Chicagoland, because no pipelines to provide needed route}
People learning how to use plants to 'manufacture' artificial oil.
Energy sources even less doomed than Pentax is.
