I felt that some of the points reflected a general anxiety about the pressure to be more informed than your neighbour. Also, information does not equal knowledge, in the same way as speed does not equal quickness. Filtering occurs quite naturally too - our brains quite simply do not bother to remember most of what happens to us throughout the day. So, whilst an increase in information in our environment could be accessed and utilised by machine, the Aleph really won't be a reality to us, we screen too much crap out already. However, should one have the pressing need to keep more information in ones brain, then we could see an increase in memory techniques / training being taught. I really liked the part about latency and refresh rates. Something I've noticed is that there's a latency with personal devices - from checking a watch, reading a text message on a phone though to glancing at a twitter stream, responding to an email on your blackberry - at some period of time, the interruption becomes noticeable.
