Let's go there for a minute, Mark and others. If a young man believes he can "get" Romeo and Juliet in five minutes over Sparknotes, what's the difference between that and my own experience "getting" Great Expectations with the movie, or with Cliff Notes, thirty years ago?

Is it the technology's fault - or is the educators' fault for not figuring out what to teach about Romeo and Juliet that makes it clearly not about the plot skeleton?
