We already have one of those: it's called the World Wide Web.

If only bottom-feeders could stop getting in the way of navigating it, we could get back to answering useful questions with a quick Web search the way we used to.

People used to buy books and magazines or go to the library.

The great thing about the internet was that it replaced the hassle and expense of doing that. It works pretty well even with the nearly-content-free sites clogging up the system.

Incidentally, for Q&A, IBM might have something that will beat google search:
