p.s. Personally, discussions of "offline"
here and everywhere (say,
accessibility of educational materials) are absurdly myopic.
Consideration of offline use is about as relevant now as consideration
of horse stables in urban planning 100 years ago.
One would argue that putting in horse stables 100 years ago was a smart
move, as people use horses. You can't know that someone's going to up
and invent the car.
Likewise: making content available offline is a smart move because, surprise,
not everybody is online. Nor does it seem like the whole world will be in our
lifetimes, barring someone inventing "the internet that anyone can access."
