“Blogs written by people with nothing to say for people with nothing to read” Guy Kawasaki
Will be endeavouring to eschew such a characterization. There is an awful lot of blogs of that ilk out there, that’s entropy for you.
If learning & knowledge are based on filtration, the modern technology has created a “good problem” — there’s a bodacious amount of data easy to obtain. So there’s a lot of job security for librarians & other ‘information workers’ : logical, organizational, storage & delivery tools need to be sharpened a lot more. If you can stand a dewy metaphor, we’ve got to add a few orders of magnitude, a few more places on the other side of the decimal point. Maybe go to hexidecimal.
In the last couple years the standard of desktop computer storage has gone from hundreds of gigabytes to numbering in terabytes, so the haystack is getting bigger faster than the needle recovery technics/techniques.

At least base-twelve; why not skip terrabyte and go straight to petabyte?
