can we learn
     from a tour of on-line resources
books?

No doubt, opening an encyclopedia we can learn the year Hitler attacked Paris and the like - but this is not what our question asks. «Can we learn from books?» primarily means, «can we learn from a book whatever is always absolutely necessary for us to know and remember?» Accordingly, our question does not imply writing as totally unworthy - the texts we gathered are clear on this, and we couldn't deny the value of reading and writing by offering textual arguments! It is about a study of the real value of the written word.
