Curious about "topics the internet left behind," where there's tons of deep knowledge in old books, but most everything online's shallow & Yahoo Answers-like. Serious piano practice technique is a good example; culinary composition is another.
Why do some topics end up that way?

i think it's hard to learn more than the most superficial stuff about critical theory, gender, etc. most of that stuff is in books & syllabi.
i don't think it is a feature of the internet though. i think it has to do w/how the search engines have evolved.

Interesting—could you say more?
I'd love to hear more about why you suspect the path of search engine evolution lead to the lack of material on that topic.
