This is just silly... to put it far more politely than my initial instinct was.
I think when you say things like this, you have travelled a few dozen miles too far into wishful thinking territory.
If there is anybody in the publishing industry that need not fear even being replaced by upstarts it's proofreaders and editors... and I don't see agents in any worse a position... until the day all the publicity an author needs is to post on Mobileread and put a sample on Feedbooks... along with the other 100,000+ authors doing the same damn thing.
