Interesting question.

I would look at it keeping one tenet in mind:
Knowledge and information is useful only so far as it helps you achieve something.

So taking one extreme, even if you knew everything in the world, the value to you (or anybody) of that would be limited to your ability to apply that information/knowledge in productive ways.

So I would say that being connected to the maximum would equal having all the information you need at the exact time you need it to help you make all the right decisions and to enable you to do the most productive things.

What those decisions regard or what those productive things involve of course depend on the knowledge borg who possesses this incredible information.
