Okay, more seriously now, there is a skill to using the internet for research. Having all this information means there is also more noise in the signal, or chaff in the wheat if you prefer. I can dig things up on-line on average 50% faster than my boss, who is an intelligent literate man. He just can't process the data, sort out the noise, and adjust his searches as quickly as I can.
I suggest this skill is of similar difficulty to old fashioned paper research, whose characteristics are noted so well above. I do not see this transition as a loss. I know, I'm biased because I'm skilled at it and I use the net for this business purpose on a daily basis. All I can say is adapt or become an old fogey.
