there was a thing I read... included a quote from douglas adams where he referred to books as 'sharks'. because sharks have existed on the planet for millions of years with almost no evolutionary changes. they are and pretty much have been perfected, there's no need to change. they'll always be around in some way/to some degree.
@caPnAhab I think it's still just in evolution phase (like books evolved from many scrolls evolution), formats and data everything's still working itself out. it'll probably get to a stable place where a digital book will work for a lifetime... might even be there now.
I'd say the internet is actually very resilient, but it's also mushy and changing very fast on human time scales. hopefully it'll get to a strong/resilient and bit less changing.
