This article begins with a reference to schools being connected to the internet, but the main story has to do with high school textbooks being riddled with errors. I don't see why the author mentions the internet at all; a better angle would be to suggest that the much vaunted accuracy of the traditional system of publishers and reviewers is, in fact, a smokescreen.
