I Google Everything

I heard somewhere that technology is making us dumber. Like, we don't use our brains to solve problems any more, we just rely on technology. But when I want to learn something, i will Google it and get my answer! So in a way, isn't technology making me smarter? I guess it all depends on how we use it. Like TV!

You answered your own question there.
Yes every solution is a few clicks away, but will you retain that information?
Perhaps if it's something simple you'll remember it, but when it's something complex that requires multiple steps you probably won't remember it, therefore you haven't learned anything and will have to rely on google in the future.

It also makes learning by doing basically useless for younger generations. Kids these days don't even know how fix their bicycles without having to google everything 😔
