What does the sentence mean?

This is the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/25/magazine/25FOB-WWLN-t.html?_r=3&scp=1&sq=going%20offline%20in%20search%20of%20freedom&st=cse

My teacher had asked us to decipher a sentence in the article and summarize anyone care to explain!?
I’m not wishing the Internet away. It has become so integral to my work — to my life — that I honestly can’t recall what I did without it. But it has allowed us to reflexively indulge every passing interest, to expect answers to every fleeting question, to believe that if we search long enough, surf a little further, we can hit the dry land of knowing “everything that happens” and that such knowledge is both possible and desirable. In the end, though, there is just more sea, and as alluring as we can find the perpetual pursuit of little thoughts, the net result may only be to prevent us from forming the big ones. (Its the last sentence)





Answer :
The Internet contains so much information that it is easy to become fascinated by the small, unimportant facts and miss the bigger, more important pieces of information. In short, the Internet has become too big to be really useful.
