The pursuit of knowledge

There are two sides to our info-at-a-click internet age.
One is, people who like to appear intellectual are threatened (like me). Being knowledgeable for knowledge’s sake is no fun, let me assure you. But now, everyone can wiki-peddle (or google) the ‘informed’ image. So, opinion and thought has begun to matter.
On the other side, is the loss of mental skill and character composition that a trek to the library or talking to people who made that trek for most of their lives, brings to one’s persona.
So which is better?
Everyone knowing something, or someone knowing everything?
