That's spot on.
I remember times when I had the PHP manual, the HTML reference, etc. saved offline to save bandwidth.

Agreed. When I worked in IT it was 75% of my job.
In my opinion, this actually is something that makes me valuable. It doesn't matter how well you can synthesize information if you can't find it in the first place.
Having the ability to take a problem, figure out what you don't know, reprocess those parts into a format that Googles™ well, filter out the noise from the results, and only then synthesize the information gathered is actually not as common as you might think.
