Jockes aside, the new danger to the knowledge and the society is the digital editing of the original textbooks. For example, it would provide an easy tool to eliminate from history textbooks references to Founding Fathers, Natural Law etc.and other information that creates obstacles for liberal progressives to advance their agenda. There are many other ares, where digital editing without consent of the original author will be handy ( e.g. economic textbooks)
Just watch for it. :-|
