Richard Wurman in The Business of Understanding reports “It wasn’t- and still isn’t- popular to ask questions rather than answer questions.” Saying that asking questions makes you look stupid, answering questions makes you look intelligent and successful. In order to gain popularity and respect society wants you to know facts and information on every subject, even if you don’t fully understand it. Google is supporting this idea, not requiring the you to start from the basics.
In his article Is Google Making Us Stupid? Nicholas Carr says, “The human brain is just an outdated computer that needs a faster processor and a bigger hard drive.” Referring in Google’s eyes our brain is the same as computers and if we could just connect a computer to our brain we would be smarter people. We are human, our brains are capable of much more than repeating data. Google is limited to operating and thinking like a computer, we are limitless and capable too much more greater learning.
