What to do with all this magic?

Before too long, all information that exists will be instantly available, to anybody, anywhere. You could very well argue that this has already happened. And it doesn't even sound like a big deal anymore. But think about it...

Every morsel of knowledge that has ever been compiled, ever, popping up inside your head at the exact instant you need it. That is sorcery, it's omnipotence! And it's inevitable that every living person will have this ability and not think twice about it.

The only question is: how will we choose to use these powers?

Oh, and the other question: how will having these powers shape our evolution?
