Is Google Making Me Stupid?
Maybe for some people, because they use it incorrectly. If utilizing Google as a crutch for laziness and procrastination, it will not help an individual in the long run whatsoever. However, if used because of lack of resources, and the drive to be productive, then the utilization of Google will help not only your scholastic, but professional and personal life as well. In my eyes, Google is an organized compilation of already known information. Instead of having to go to the library and endlessly search through pages of manuals and dictionaries, the information is right at your fingertips. I feel that this is one of the most important technologies of the modern age. Productivity is increased ten fold in the modern age because of the utilization of search engines. As stated above, as long as used in the appropriate manner for the right reasons, then Google will help out your personal as well as professional life for the better.

I agree with you, Katie. I feel if you're using Google for actual research or looking up something useful, it isn't a damper on the mind. I've always found Google helpful and the company keeps adding extra touches to increase productivity.
