They might have yelled that ‘Internet is unreliable’, or ‘You can only learn when you physically dive into the archives of the university library. What happened the last time when new technology turned education upside down? I can only imagine that a similar old guard of professors found it outrageous when their students started using Google for their research twenty years ago.
