The "Google Effect"

The reason behind the results are the amount of saved data in memory storage. Most of this information is sometimes stored temporarily, or the information may not be as vital. Some of this information that is not memorized may only serve its purpose once, and then become discarded. Data like this resembles the notes kept inside a notebook, or a grocery list. The mind is the RAM to the Internet, or it is the memory that is defragmented and cleaned from data that has not been used again. I have not fallen to the "Google effect" because everything I research is for me to remember. The only "Google" related "effect"I have is bookmarking any interesting webpages where I need to gather some interesting information even though I already know what it will say. The only solution to stop the "Google effect" is by creating restrictions to the Internet towards easy information that needs to be studied to remember. For example, the user can be blocked from accessing data temporarily, mainly in educational and medical institutes. One solution that is less likely to help is assigning users to to remember information gathered from the Internet that is interesting and not tedious.
