I'm not so sure of that. Despite the huge amounts of data I am actually
more able to find things now than ever. Thunderbird or mutt both
automatically sort my email, the search functionalities work great, etc.
But even more impressive is google. I often don't even bookmark things
anymore. I just google it the next time I need it and it is usually the
top link. I probably hit google a dozen times in a day. Sure, I would
love some artificial technology that can correctly interpret images,
video files, etc. and I agree that is a long way off. But the most
important thing I search these days is still text. Sometimes that text
is meta-data describing a movie or audio clip or image and while not
ideal it is good enough for now since I rarely search these things.
