Know It All's

It seems to me, that back in the day, you used to have to suffer the know-it-all's because they knew things that you didn't know. Most of the time, they were socially insufferable, and they didn't care because sooner or later, you'd have to come to their door, and ask a question like, "hey, what's the capital of Siberia?" or "could I brew coffee in zero gravity?" or "Could Darth Vader beat a great white, a jaguar, AIDS and a Tyrannosaurus Rex at the same time?"

But now, I'm not so sure. Because of the internets, (or as I like to call it, "The Global Database") you can ask basically any question, and find out the answer. So is it just possible, that this creation of humanity will actually do away with the social class (umm, geeks, dorks, and the unsocial-skilled) that spawned it? I suppose only time will tell.
