I think there will come a time when we come back to it. Today we have computers and very fast lookup, but an encyclopaedia won't tell you what you don't know. If you're a specialist, you'll have a hard time to making a discovery in an unrelated field. But a polymath, a renaissance man, a Leonardo, a man of many talents might. There's probably a limit of how much we can discover with current model. Far future inventors will need to have wide internalized knowledge and skills. A computer is a tool. A much more mentally capable person would do more with it.
