Google Effect
Also known as digital amnesia, it is a mental tendency to not remember or forget facts, data and others that can be found easily through online search engines, such as Google or Bing. As the information can be accessed readily, we do not prefer storing the information in our memory. This effect was first reported in a 2011 study where the researchers explained that “The Internet has become a primary form of external or trans active memory, where information is stored collectively outside ourselves.” The study found that when solving difficult problems, we are “primed” to consider “Google” and when we know we can easily access the information in future, we are less likely to recall the information itself and more likely to recall where to access it instead.
However, this does not mean that our ability to learn and retain information offline is affected. The Google effect is more about the kind of information and level of detail we believe to be important enough to remember. Regardless, it can create an unnecessary dependency on technology which may negatively affect our intelligence and memory.
