I will completely agree that I have earned a grumpy old man card many times over in my life. My loving nickname from my beautiful Maria is "Grumpy old man," so I can't fault you there.
However, I disbelieve this notion that human beings can only hold so much information - I just think our brain is the least used muscle in most peoples heads and if we learned to exercise it better then we could do so much more with it. I'm not talking ESP (as much as that's a different subject I could talk for days about) but instead just simple recall and rememberance. If we don't Darwin ourselves backwards instead of forwards and we actually start evolving instead of devolving, I think we'll see that the brain is the biggest source of change in what is to come.
Or at least, I hope. I also think that our "evolution" is probably going to involve cyborging ourselves, but I'd like to see nature take its course instead.
