OP But it is possible that the new, sound-bite generation may eventually create something of lasting worth?
Do you mean lasting worth, or long remembered?
I mean, I suspect (though I never know what I mean until I say it ), that they might actually create a new idiom of rhetoric and oration. It may not be what we are accustomed to, or accustomed to consider as good, but it may spawn its own culture, art forms, conventions and values that, to its users (particularly if it becomes endemic), is the golden standard against which speech is measured.
