BLOG POST #8 :D

The fact that people are using the internet as their memory bank is ridiculous in a way but smart at the same time. I think the study of people using the internet to help them remember things is probably because people using the internet everyday, so there must be a reason why they use it and it must be to hold information for them and being able to rely on that information. I am also part of the "Google Effect" because for homework I may be unfamiliar with a certain school subject so I need to look it up online for help. People don't always know everything so that is why they rely on the internet and sometimes the internet reveals more information than books due and it gives you many topics related to what you want to know. There will never be a solution to this "Google Effect" as people want to call it because like I mentioned no one knows everything and people are bothered by the fact to go to the library and get a book to find out. We always depend on the internet to know the things we don't know. But the reality is that the internet doesn't know all because someone had to post all of those articles and only 97 percent of the time you find what you are looking for and that is my approximate guess. Besides, I also doubt that people even memorize what they read on the internet because even then after they read it they will forget. The internet is only a source of reference when you need it and sometimes people don't bother to learn anything they read anywhere.
