What do you think about literature these day uhum...

It seems that the past had its glory and the glory of the future in the arts also may be very different than what anyone can imagine.  Once the film industry has done a rip off of everything in the past and all the novels it has ripped off then something real new must happen.  Literature seems prone to something similar.  It can not be helped that reading from a screen and watching videos and film is going to swallow up libraries and bookstores almost down the bone.  We will still want the physical object no doubt and to be used as a recourse, but I see a diminished future in books. 

The online world may consume it year after year.
