Another comment - the WWW aspect of the internet has given birth to a media
that can link to discrete pieces of information - text, video, etc in a way
that just doesn't compare to a  bookshelf ...and not only could the text of
that Supreme Court decision be found on the 'net but also (theoretically
anyway) commentary/analysis, visual elements of the case, etc
