Exactly. The information age is well into its 2nd decade now and it's only going to get more advanced and of course more intellectually complex. Now instead of learning how to fix a car or a washing machine, people are learning to code, build their own computers and figure out how to use some of the dozens of new gadgets released every month. There is only so much the human mind can handle, and with all the new stuff we need to learn to keep up with where society is moving towards, especially one that is driven by advancing technologies on such an exponential level.
There is really one thing that we can collectively do, and that's to dump some of the old knowledge for new knowledge (and skills). For instance, how many people you know that can operate a horse and carriage? :)
