The major problem I have with this is with "Education". Education does not solely consist of listening to lectures; it's a process that takes place between the educator and the student, and sometimes, you need a faculty member to talk to, simply because you have questions that are different from everyone else's. Khan Academy and similar efforts only go so far—not everyone learns best the same way. Colleges will certainly evolve and change in their methodology, but I don't believe that jobs in academia will change and/or disappear so drastically.
