The question was asked

> Will computers give us mastery over information?

Probably not - how will they ever discriminate between accurate vs.
inaccurate information, say, on the Internet (or in any sizable
information repository).

Of course, it all depends on what the scope of "us" is (all mankind?),
what "mastery" looks like, and whether it's all the information that is at
our disposal (the Internet for a start).
