The Internet and mobile devices has already done this, ebooks just compliment the mobility of data.
When we have little goggles that work ANYWHERE in the world and can get any kind of information from a book to a newspaper to a map and also display virtual data overlaid on top of reality then we will truly change as humans. I imagine being able to look at a table and tapping a button to find what style of table it is, the history of those tables, the materials the table is made from etc. Yes I read a lot of sci-fi hehe
