Honestly, my best idea of when print is visible for just a moment and superseded by the internet is in newspapers. Newspapers may be written to be glimpsed in stores, but most people just move past them to the internet. Hardly anyone pays attention to the printed newspaper anymore as it is easier and cheaper to simply look everything up online. The same news is there and even more that may reflect the reader’s interests better than what was printed in their home city or state that day.
One could also say that this happens in one’s thoughts. They may write something and say to themselves “This would be a great book! But it’s much easier to just post to the internet… and I’m not really looking to make money.” In this case, print is forgotten for a chance to tell their story to the world. Even with print on demand, I feel like people are more likely to post to a blog first.
