Too much info kills info...

During the Apollo Era, we had weekly magazines (like Paris Match) which provided us with the first colored pictures returned back from space. We had black and white TV, we had radio stations and newspapers.
We didn't have VCR's nor the internet.
The lack of mean to save live pictures meant we had to see them when they were shown live, otherwise we would miss them until someone would show them again (much much later).
While I would gladly return back to books and magazines, it's not the same with what I can save with the PC.
I don't have the time to look back or read what had been saved (digitally) because there is too much and so little time.
It's perhaps first of all a matter of choosing what is more important, selecting among everything we can get. This would indeed require an education.
