Future shock naysayers claim professional development costs will offset the cost-savings assumed by digital textbook advocates. The opponents are either selling something (i.e. Professional Development) or they are unaware that technology innovates towards simplicity and ease of use and thereby reduces the need for old models of training staff to handle complex technologies.
Reminds me of how the invention and introduction of the Pencil to schools was feared to become the cause for cheating and the invention of the bicycle would cause expensive medical problems (and offset the savings of owning and caring for horses).
Same storyline. Different characters.
