Evolution of Radiology Learning

According to an article in Academic radiology, Vol. 14, No. 9. (September 2007), pp. 1113-1120-"Currently, residents prefer the Internet when researching a question, with Google as the Web site most commonly used. Case review or requisite books are more commonly used than are traditional textbooks. Radiology resident learning has rapidly shifted from traditional textbooks and journals to the Internet and short case review books."

Given the vast resources available on the internet these days and modern radiologists having so many tools at hand from smart phones, to ipads to notebooks.. this hardly is surprising.

Do you think text books will soon be thing of the past? Comments and opinions requested.
