Well.  To me, the topic of the video was "Handwritten text" vs "Digital text".

There Digital text win because suport links and is easy morphing
powers. Text is a good vehicle for ideas, so better text is important.

PHPBB alike forums are voice tradition. Camp fires for hunter tales.
This is like 100.000 years old, so will not go away soon :D

Yea, voice tradition is often inaccurate..  and retard.

People lean that way. A book is not enough, need other guy voice (the
teacher) even if the teacher make mistakes, seems a better way. Maybe
because information generated by the teacher (or the guy on the Web
2.0 forum) is customized for the receiver, removing redundant data,
adding related info, personal experience, etc.
