not obsolete but... in decline, so to speak

writing used to be the last bastion of intelligence in a world of mass media

but not no more

or i should say-- TV is also "literature" now (the fancy kind)

been rewatching breaking bad now, and laughing so hard

either i've become stupider or tv has become really good

wishful thinking sez tv is wayyyyyyyy better than it once was

(but likely i have cognitive decline)

also consider that human resources that once would have flocked the novel, the theatre, etc (yes, theatron, fuck you, lol) are now going elsewhere
