How not to get lost in the knowledge

Allegedly when Roland Barthes died, he had at home aproximately 15 000 index "cards" with different entries about what he was doing and when he was writing his non-fiction books he used these cards...

Looks like really painful-in-the-ass and slow process, but maybe he did not get lost in all that knowledge... nowadays I have a feeling that anything you want to know, you just type it in Google or find it on Wikipedia, but you "forget" it in the second you read it...
