But that has nothing to do with this discussion.
We aren't afraid that the transfer of knowledge will decline. On the contrary -- videos transfer the same knowledge as per the discussion.
And yet, the OP's implication was that
writing as a method of conveying knowledge will be or is declining.
So it really doesn't matter what people a long time ago thought about the switch from one type of
writing to another, when in this day and age the (misplaced
) concern is that we will switch from
writing to
videos/other.
Therefore... I don't have a clue what you are trying to say.
(Is it just me, or am I repeating the same thing over again in so many different words? Well, hopefully I won't have to go for round three.
