Hey /lit/ what do you think of what Harold Bloom has to say about the internet:

"I don't think that the e-book is going to destroy the printed book, as so many fear. But the Internet, which I acknowledge is an economic and commercial necessity--the Internet--and many people disagree with me on this, I know--the Internet, I think, is a terrible danger to the life of the mind. It's a terrible danger to real reading because it's a kind of great, gray ocean in which everything merges with everything else. And extremely difficult--it is extremely difficult for a young person to establish standards of reading or to find again what could be called intellectual and aesthetic standards of judgment in relation to what is available on it. There is no guidance."

"There is--if I may use a word now so much despised, there is no intellectual authority involved in it. It's--it doesn't seem, to me, a good mode of teaching, even as an instrument, even as a tool, because something about its very nature defeats, I think, what teaching ought to be."
