Google Makes You Stupid If By Stupid You Mean Informed A recent Columbia University study is a salve for teachers worried that Google’s making them–and their students–stupid. Of course Google doesn’t do anything directly. It is simply a search engine that provides access to information. The idea that such access might make you “stupid” likely comes from a kind of guilt that comes from making something that used to be difficult–well, less difficult. If it’s easy it must not be worth doing. But Google doesn’t provide insight–it provides information. Columbia University psychologist Betsy Sparrow explains. “Since the advent of search engines, we are reorganizing the way we remember things. Semantics get in the way here a little. “Perhaps those who teach in any context, be they college professors, doctors or business leaders, will become increasingly focused on imparting greater understanding of ideas and ways of thinking, and less focused on memorization,” said Sparrow. And you can’t blame those on Google.

Bref, ce réseau social a entre autre amené les « listes » que nous avons aujourd’hui sur Facebook sous forme de « cercles ». ), mais y allez-vous fréquemment ? En quelques chiffres Google+, c’est 90 millions d’utilisateurs contre 850 millions pour Facebook.
