One historical view of what was going on there is that much of the interesting stuff going on during Plato's time was due to the intersection of 'oral culture' and 'print culture'. Eric Havelock and Marshall McLuhan, in particular, wrote about that - I don't have a good online reference though.

I have a short blog post mentioning it here.
