The more information there is, the harder it is to find the piece you
want. Further the more people you have capable of creating
information, the more junk information pollutes the pool, amateurish,
out-of-date, deliberately false, propaganda, misleading etc.
The global information pool is growing at quite a clip. What sort of
technologies will we need to deal with it when that pool is 1000 times
larger than today?
Seems to me we will need ways of electronically coming to consensus on
various matters, perhaps the WikiPedia is the next model.
