There's a difference sure. Not all kids are lucky enough to have direct access to originals -- Vatican Library a case in point. What you get in cyberspace may well be "second best" in many cases. But then, considering the situation globally, the choice is often between "second best" and "none at all." Speaking of Shakespeare, I think the computer has brought us as close as we've ever come to Prospero's books. Check Google if the allusion isn't clear.
