I imagine in 20 years they will turn to holographic animation.
computer assisted animation is when you use a tween like shape or motion so that the computer does almost all the animation for you except for the additional appendages
Animation is when you use something on your computer to make things move like cartoons.I'm going to the computer store to buy a tool for it,I'll see what they have.It's probably expensive or something,like all the other stuff.
Computer animation is used extensively for movies, and also for medical animations (to show patients what's wrong). Computer animation is also used for modelling real life events, like effects of climate change or airline simulators. And, of course, games!
With 3-D animation you use programs like Maya, using the computer to create 3-D models that you can tweak, eventually creating a full animation. It could be compared to clay-model, but it's digital. Programs like Adobe After Effects are used for 2-D, where you draw multiple frames of an object. When shown in rapid succession, it appears like the object is moving. Similar to traditional pencil animation, but is within the computer.
I like to tell you basic Types of Animation. Stop animation is a technique to make objects move on their own. Computer Animation is the latest technique of animation that includes 2D and 3D animation. 2D is used through PowerPoint and Flash animations and 3D is used in film making where we require unusual objects or characters that are not easy to display.
Bilateral Symmetry - Right down an animal (Worm or fish)Radial Symmetry - Symmetry like a circle (E.g - Starfish)Asymmetrical - No symmetry
CG means computer graphics, CG animation is when the artist uses the computer to do the film. Usually CG animation is refered when talking about 3-d movies, but it can also be any other software like flash, after effects, moho, etc
Photoshop for the iPad (PS Express) has no 3D rendering or animation capabilities. If you want to do animation, use a desktop or laptop computer and professional software.

There are some schools that offer AA, BA, or Masters degrees. In my research, it looks like there are several online institutes that offer the degree. Please check out this site. http://www.onlinecollegeguru.com/careers/maine/arts-and-design/animation-schools/
