Sorry, that's too telegraphic
The kind of expansion you speak of does not need the net.In fact little does
need the net. Most of what is referred to as the net is in fact the web
which post dates the net by a long way
Multi media doesnt need the net, but a lot of the resources - player, screen
eg - are based around the machine used to access the net and web; and they
become confused
If video and or audio recordings are being used as documentary then live
presence is likely to be preferable, regardless of the quality of the poet
