Internet.

I'd say that the quality of information on the Internet declined radically too - back in the
day, an Altavista/Yahoo/Lycos/Google search could usually get you right to the point, while
today one has to wade through lengthy list of blog posts and alike random crap in order to
find a meaningful answer...

In the very beginning you don't even needed to search at all. See a pattern?
Google won his current status by being more accurate than Yahoo and Altavista. Maybe the time

Build a system that makes easier for people to get to the content they want and the price can
be HUGE. It's not an easy task, mind you.
