The concurrent undermining of TV through loss of advertising is also welcome as it favours creativity both at home and in TV itself.
The downside is the proliferation of poor quality content on the Internet, making a lot of ‘noise’ that’s difficult to filter.
I don’t think any tool can make a poor writer into a good writer, but practice and self-criticism can, and again, the availability of good advice and models may help the process.

Future Perfect Publishing talks about how the internet is changing the way authors write. Zotero sounds particularly fun. I personally don’t know how anybody wrote anything before the internet.
