Is Google Making Us Stupid?

Sure we no longer have to fill our brains with a dearth of useful trivia, but when has a mind full of useless facts helped anyone other than on Jeopardy.

We now have Sudoku to keep our minds active now that encyclopedias aren't around for us read and memorize cover to cover.

So, no, I don't believe as Carr and others would have us believe that those who acquire search engine skills will cease to exercise their memory and become forgetful.
