Seeing everything around us as if it were the first time, is one of the potential goals of meditation. In some of the training I have taken it's called mindfulness. I'm very new to it, but so far I think it accomplishes what you have indicated in your post.
My one concern, and probably relevant to this topic, is the sheer volume of information that could now be assimilated. Is there a limit to the amount of information we can store and retrieve later, or can our brains be trained to access all of this data on an as needed basis. I don't know the answer to this question, but I'm hopeful that it has a net beneficial affect.
