if you ever manage to track down a photography book from the early days of digital (93, 94), take a look through it. note how dated everything looks. extrapolate that for your own photography by 15-20 years. In a lot of cases, current digital manipulation already looks dated-- desaturated bg/saturated subject is the Kai's Power Goo of 2007.
Granted, there is some very good digital alteration out there; Andreas Gursky and Jeff Wall come to mind. Their work is mostly compositing, correcting perspective, saturating colors, etc. In other words, it's merely complementing the already very strong work.
