You don’t need “pre internet information gathering” experience to figure out where information is held. I know the location of many libraries off the top of my head.
I can go there, figure out the system they use, read a few books to find what I need, then head home.

I think that you overestimate the capacity of the yourger people to solve problems without any access to any form of online informations.

True, but the old generation will not fare any better if something they were born with suddenly went away.
My point is that it isn’t a new thing.

Partially true. Old generation is used to do things, I would bet that it would have easier anyway.
