Google "will be included in your brain"

I'm a bit of a "reformed googlist." Google co-founder Sergey Brin states, "I view Google as a way to augment your brain with the knowledge of the world...it will be included in your brain." With all the world's knowledge so readily available, and being added to daily by millions, why try so hard to enter information into your personal brain? My History professor has placed a 10 minute time limit on our weekly open-book, open-notes online quizzes because, in theory, if you haven't read the book you can't find the answers in 10 minutes. This is true if you look in the book for the answers. However, it doesn't take Google 10 minutes. So, should we teach general education courses or effective Google usage? Yes. This is why I'm a "reformed googlist." Google may know everything, but if you don't know what to ask, it doesn't know what to tell you. You still need the base to build on. If you can't remember the details, Google knows. Google is an amazingly powerful tool that needs to be utilized, but is only used to its full potential by the educated.
