I spend my days trying to structure books into relational databases to attempt to map them to more interesting non-linear behaviors (UX and UI). Most of the humanities has been relegated to linear data storage (books). Unlocking that with new interfaces is the most obvious way that the humanities can become obviously digital. I don't really see it as a very heavy question -- there is still a need for writers, painters, photographers, etc -- there is just more spots for workers to design the frames for that content in new and exciting ways. The professors won't get a handle on this until its already defined and part of the past, because humanities isn't really research for the future as much as it is a study of the past.
