HOW DOES GOOGLE SEARCH EFFECT OUR INTELLIGENCE

Google search provides a lot of information at our fingertips so it is nowadays the answer to most questions. As a result people are primed to think of it, when asked different questions, even when they know the correct answer or if the question is difficult and the answer is unknown. No longer we make efforts to search out the items we would like. We just “Google” our recent schoolmate, find articles online, or look up the actor who was on the tip of our tongue. But the question that arises is, does it affect our memory and attention span. Our growing dependence on the Internet has actually changed how and what our brain chooses to remember. So this study involves researching and analyzing data on how does google search effect us and our intelligence, the impact of it across society. And its influence it has on our brain structure and functioning remains a central topic of investigation. This study also addresses the key areas like its effect on the way students learn, its influence on our brain and the discussion of the google search and its effects among the public. Data from scientific studies was evaluated and used to draw conclusions about these effects where appropriate, and news articles and other media were looked at to provide a rational perspective on the topics in modern society.
