    Comparing media is like comparing apples and oranges - what is good in one
    respect may be bad in another. It is already a forward position to say
    that video is an art medium. But there are things you can do in writing
    you cannot do in video.

    Alright, we need more letters :) Audio may eventually reach parity with
    writing, but I don't writing is going to pass away. In addition to what
    I said above, writing can exist in much more stable formats than say
    digital audiovideo embedded in quickly-outdated & perishable codes.
