There is nothing--so far--more efficient and economical than the human brain and body to do stuff. I did some calculations a while back and found that remembering something was so less polluting and energy intense than searching a search engine for it.

If you have to burn energy, burn your own energy.
Think first.
Remember first.

Hence "The Matrix" may have a valid point perhaps.

I don't know about your brain, but mine tends to lose stored information over time. As it ages, its storage capacity shrinks ever further.

I imagine this is why written language was invented. Words on paper don't fade so quickly.

At my age I barely any information left. I know where the shops and pubs are though.

As for search engines, the point of them is to find information I need when I don't know where to find it. How else would I do that? By walking up to random people on the street and asking them questions? I'd be lucky if none of them violently attacked me, let alone gave me useful answers.
