...that with digital tripods are becoming less and less needed. I do own a Manfrotto tripod which I use occasionally when I want to do some landscape photos or something, but honestly with good high ISO, image stabilizers and other widgets. I don't feel the need to use my tripod much at all.
Along with that? Apart from sports photographers, who really needs a monopod?
I think in the future no one will use a tripod or monopod because the cameras will have perfect image stabilization and auto mode will be good enough for everything.

Sure. Do a 5 minute exposure hand held. Good luck.

Just put the ISO number higher.

lol that won't help. Doing that makes your shutter speed faster. You want the exposure to be locked in at 5 minutes. It's impossible to do without a tripod.

Why would you want to do that?! Any movement from the camera would make it look terrible.

You are correct. Hence the tripod to stabilize it.

Just use a faster shutter speed. It's pretty obvious.

What if you want to blur things deliberately? Like the ocean or something to make it look like it's all glassy smooth, or a river or waterfall for that silky effect?

Besides the sharpness factor when shooting a fast moving sport like hockey. Shooting wide open means there is less room for error and upping the ISO introduces more noise and grain into the equation most of the time.
Mostly true for snapshots (a simple record of what the scene looked like). But very wrong for interpretive photography (artsy). The time exposure is not for the purpose of making everything blurry, only for making the moving elements within the scene blurry. While the stationary parts of the scene stay completely sharp. Also, IS is not miraculous. It averages out the scene movement. Where different parts of the scene are moving in different ways, then some of the scene will still be blurry, even with IS. BTW, if your camera always gives great results at f/2.8 and ISO 12000 then it really spanks my Canon EOS 50D (which does have IS, at least with some lenses).Then why would you worry about the cameras shake making everything blurry when you want everything too look blurry anyway? Also you can use image stabilization to make everything sharp because that's what it's there for.
