Agreed - I can't find a loophole in using WolframAlpha to facilitate finding integrals, derivations, or a Taylor series that makes me feel like all this information is too much.
Besides, when information was 'less', didn't that mean fewer people controlled the flow of information thereby minimizing the market place of free ideas? For a founding concept of Democracy, I find it nearly Medieval to show such longing for the days of information underflow.
But I suppose I can see the quaintness of times gone by. "My head feels warm and I can't keep food down, maybe tomorrow I'll load up the buggy and visit Old Man Merlin for a magic cure."
