I'm kinda with Mael on some of this. I don't think we are capable of being omniscient, no matter how many of us are "connected" through technology or what have you. I think there are many truths that we are not only unaware of, but incapable of comprehending. Omniscience is all knowing, but even if everyone could be connected now through some miracle technology, no one would know how the earth was actually formed, how life truely began, or how the world was going to end. To be truely omniscient one must stand outside of time. All points in time would then be at one single point percieved and hence, all would be known. This is the only way omniscience is possible and the only thing capable of standing outside of time, hence being omniscient, is God. Man will never acheive this, and if we're striving for it, it's just another Tower of Babel.
