I doubt this.
Extensions of collage etc have been happening since they first happened;
multi-media predates the web by decades; and collective composition
"extended intertextuality" is a bit burdensome and limited without
hypertext, though, but it hardly started with the web
Your wager seems implausible to me
Armitage will still be shanking away; Poetry please or something like it
will still be broadcasting a highwayman came riding...
In your post, Paul, you speak of the technology facilitating; and that is
the word. As the technology gets cheaper and cheaper and more powerful in
terms of processor speed and size of backing store, so the ability to
experiment will become greater as it becomes easier; but totally redefining
the way we do poetry? No. The technology isn't doing the redefining and it
isn't that wholesale
