I believe that the Google may or may not make us stupid. Yes, I am an avid “googler.” I look everything up from how to cook something to how to write a letter. I know it is crazy, but sometimes I need a little extra help. I guess the question is, are we learning from it or are we depending on it? There is a big difference. Depending on the person and their own learning skills, one may be able to “google” something and catch on right away, learning and taking something away from it. Next time they attempt the same task they needed help with, they automatically have it. On the other hand some may not be as fortunate. Some may struggle and “google” something and accomplishes it, only to turn around and depend on “Google” time and time again to be able to accomplish a task. The internet is such a great tool, but I guess we all need to tone it down and try not to depend on it so much.
