Just Google it!

Every time we open a browser we prepare for searching in a way every time we prepare our brain to dispose off everything we wanted to know is available in google which conditions to us to ignore it. What we actually know we google it which leads our brain creativity in problematic.

The information stored in our memory on a long term basis is the unique intelligence. Still we may get the impact of long term memory by adapting our new response to this new reality afterall we can’t change the sea change of the information age. People have often forgotten the innovative connection between the reality and the information age.

Now in a way it’s less about the knowledge you have, and more about how you use the information at hand. We’re relying on Google to store knowledge long-term, instead of our own brains. Basically, our brain is learning to disregard information found online, and this connection becomes stronger every time we experience it. So the more we use Google, the less likely we are to retain what we see.

We need the unique memories to understand and interact with the world around us. If we rely on Google to store our knowledge, we may be losing an important part of our identity. Now it’s like Why to remember something if I know I can look it up again? In some sense, with Google and other search engines, we can offload some of our memory demands onto machines. The Internet's effects on memory are still unexplored territory, but to this conclusion: Internet has become our primary external storage system. Human memory is adapting to new communications technology.
