The significance of this, of course, is parity of access to information resources, which will one day be limited to electronic sources. Not all of them, but even, historical documents are being digitized.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

but most govt and local govt info is on the net, as are forms etc, and the ease at which one is able to access them is up to the indivdual, but also the ISPs. 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.
yep IT is the big thing and teaching the public is a key issue the goverment need to tackle and address
