Oh, what the future holds!

I thought I was finally coming into the 21st century, technically speaking that is, until I read the article on Library 3.0 and Library 4.0. And here I thought I was so cool finally getting the gist of Library 2.0 - of course, with a lot of help from my co-workers. The potential is limitless.
Dr. Wendy Schultz said that libraries of the past were: "A symbol of a society that cared about its attainments, that treasured ideas, that looked ahead multiple generations. Librarians were stewards, trainers, intimate with the knowledge base and the minds who produced it." Now, I have to ask: "Won't libraries/librarians of the future do the exact same things?"
