How Google is Making You Dumb: Stop Using Google NOW!
The title of this blog must have grabbed your attention. And if my guess is right, the first thought that may have crossed your mind could be: ‘who is this idiot claiming insane things’. Am I right?
But I am going to prove in this blog how google is making us dumb and hijacking our mind. And don’t worry, I am not going to present big fat numbers that are hard to understand and completely impossible to relate. I will show exactly how Google is not such a useful resource as we think of it.
What is Google?
Before we move ahead, let’s confirm if our definition of Google is similar.
Google is more or less like a God of the internet era. You don’t know the meaning of a word (in any language), Google has answers, you don’t know the answer of any particular event that took place thousands of years ago (in any country), Google has the answer, you don’t know the meaning of your name, Google has a story to share. In short, Google knows everything, right?
Now, the question is: Why am I opposing Google when it is such a great source of information?
Let’s see the dark side of Google.
