Is the internet too broad?

There are 1 billion new entries of information on the internet everyday. You can Google anything. 'To Google' is now a bona fide verb. There were over a billion UNIQUE users on the internet in December 2008. (news.cnet.com). So my queston is this. Is the internet too broad? Does it offer too many options? Is it too easy to get what you want? Yes, yes, and yes.

When I write these posts, I will continually google (there it goes again) what I need. Most of the time I will find something useful. Usually I would have to look in (god forbid) books, and lots of them, to find what I needed, I may even need to adapt my line of questioning. But with the internet, there is almost (99.99%) always what I need, waiting in America, Hong Kong, Germany, Britain, Canada, etc., etc..

This is developing an impatient trait in my peers, and (as much as I hate it) me. Everything is instantly available. One can live, work, and play through the internet. But they miss so much, the human interactions that make life. The real world variables, not just menu choices on a screen. This is what worries me the most.

If everything is in one place, and is completely predictable, why bother with the trivial nature of people, who won't react the way you expected. Why bother going to several places at greater expense? While these are some extreme examples, it shows some trends which are possible, and we need to be aware of.

The internet is a wonderful tool, if used correctly.
