But can you put the Bible, Quran, Torah, Silent Spring, Mein Kampf, ,
Wind, Sand and Stars, War and Peace, Heart of Darkness, The Count of Monte Christo in a little storage box marked ‘print’, squashed in there with double-page spreads for Ford trucks, Tampax ads and Reader’sDigest condensations? Books start wars, movements, religions, imaginations, thinking, raging. Is it worth considering that blogs are just print with the thinking time removed so they can fit in a conversational delivery system?

Of course you can put great books that move civilizations in a little storage box marked 'print' along with Readers' Digest, just as you can put obscure and sloppy blogs along with blogs and networked communities that are doing great things, changing peoples' and communities lives in this era. Especially when considering the purpose of said diagram and the range of meda it covers.

Some blogs are print with thinking removed, just as are a majority of the books for sale in many bookstores near you. Just because print is packaged in one form versus another does not qualify the ideas or consciousness the symbols that are the print represent as more or less worthy. Unpack that sentence, go ahead .. I dare ya ;-)
