Is Google Making Students Stupid?

Socrates was against the new technology of his era - writing. The Internet's ability to allow comments and dialogue partially mitigates his objections. In another complaint about writing it was asserted that the ability to look things up in a book was making people stupid, since memorized texts ensured that a student was aware of all aspects of the situation. If one had not memorized the text, how would one know that the book was applicable to the problem at hand. http://ift.tt/1gvIL2S
