much of the value of the classics is in their means of conveying cultural norms and ideas. but they became classics in ages where the book was such a primary format. considering how there are many more new mediums for the dissemination of those ideas (the new thing under the sun) could the need for the literary presentation be diminished?

note: this is not saying that new mediums will be anywhere near as effective... just da'ing.
