This article touches on something profound.

We have become so reliant on finding answers in Google that we are no longer exercising our brains. 

"It's a grave mistake to think Google can replace your memory. It can, however, complement it, if we keep in mind what each does best."
"Every time you retrieve information from memory, it becomes a bit easier to find it the next time. That's why students studying for a test actually remember more if they quiz themselves than if they study as they typically do, by rereading their textbook or notes. That parades the right ideas before the mind, but doesn't make them stick. In the same way, you won't learn your way around a city if you always use your GPS, but you will if you work to remember the route you took last time."
