How do you think the impact of both the Internet and now roughly a century of film/television have affected and will continue to affect literature in terms of form and style?

I ask this just in an open sort of sense, not looking for--though it's up to you, obviously--a totally negating or positing answer.

I'm a writer in my mid-20s who managed to get published on a small scale and has worked in film/television and prose in relatively equal amounts, though I started from about the age of five just writing stories for myself. Screenwriting and film analysis in high school/college taught me a lot about story structure and metaphorical/allegorical form, as well as how to compartmentalize meaning into image; and I've found now in my prose that those lessons carry through, and sometimes treating what I'm writing/editing like a film helps strengthen the flow and feel of the writing, while still retaining the overall sentiment and tradition of a prose piece.

I think it's important for any writer to try and adopt the aesthetic and formal developments they bear witness to in their own time, so they can better recreate through the written word, to the best of their ability, what that time truly was and felt like, in as honest and authentic detail as possible. Any thoughts?

I know that was a lot, but thank you for contributing in such an involved way. Truly one of the great threads that will have been on this board.
