Not all of them, but even, historical documents are being digitized. This will have it's downsides, in that works of art couldn't possibly be experienced how they were supposed to be in person

forms of art are available in digital form but nothing beats going to an art gallery and viewing it in person i dont think that should die out as such

The govt is taking steps to change our information seeking behaviour, well that of those who are not already initiates but the mechanisms that we use for this, have to take part in this change more seriously. And not look to their wallets for constant reassurance for the future.
