"The Google Effect" Is Real and It's Making Us Lazy

Since the beginning of the digital age, researchers have tried to discover many ways in which the Internet influences human behavior. From completely rebuilding communication circles to changing labor markets, the impact of the World Wide Web is everywhere. But how does the Internet influence our intellect?

This is a question of New York magazine William Poundstone. Although the Internet knows that we will be able to do more with less things, that is, without having to interview in the spot or go to a video rental shop and complete without a movie Writing articles - new information?

According to Poundstone, the answer can be found in what he calls "Google effect". Basically this means that despite the ability to memorize information, we know that they are archived on the Internet, so we feel less stressful. Simply put, the Internet does not fool us - it's just lazy. It is a bit like a test of an open book in high school - what is the point of learning information when it's just a page turning?

As an example we will cover the 2013 survey by Linda Henkel at Fairfield University. Henkel undergraduate lectured at Bellamy Museum of Fairfield University. She instructed half of the students to take pictures of specific artworks on their mobile phones, but the other half were simply told to record their psychological records. When the art is tested the next day, those who do not have archived pictures will remember those works more.

Ironically, emphasizing the Internet is to make us lazy. When Google is always in your pocket, why should you remember the facts and figures? Why do you study the layout of London when satellite navigation systems can do hard work for us? Worse than anything else, why are you bothered by taking a bar test, even those who are looking for answers do get in the way? The temptation to outsource our idea to the Internet is even devastating. It is easy to understand why this looks very attractive. There are huge collective intelligence waiting to be excavated (although there are many parts that need to be deceived). Obviously Waterloo. This discovered that participants have a small but significant impulse to doubt their knowledge and to confirm facts on the Internet when there is a double check opportunity.

There may be many reasons why someone is not following your expectations, but "they are just lazy" is the most lazy reason you might use. Why use it to be able to explore the real cause and to learn something about how others help you feel the urgency and importance you are effectively doing What? People who feel urgency and importance and can effectively convey it to other people are good at interpersonal activities, namely sales, leadership, raising children, talking in front of people. For some people, it may seem like it simply "motivate people" or "to equip their nephews", but this is a very different thing. It is a sophisticated and complete art that transfers perceived, perceived value from one person to another, or to many other people. This is not an easy thing.

Google told me that laziness is "the quality of not working or not using energy". It seems to diagnose people as being lazy, and we only observe this feature in it. They know that their actions are wrong and they are lazy if they have not taken any action to solve the problem. Let's evaluate it. If laziness is a symptom, what is the reason? In my life, a couple came to mind. I dislike English lessons. Damn, I dislike it. My relationship with my third grader (ninth grade) is very unstable, part of it is my fault, but the boring theme has a big impact on the crime of my classroom. I have always considered myself as a child of mathematics and science. I got shocked when I got 28% of the middle-aged test results that year, what is my expectation in fact?
