I have a slightly different perspective as someone who learned how to code in recent times (about 4 years ago) with the rich amount of resources on the web. I do use Google & the internet generally a fair amount, largely for referring to APIs, but for various people's approaches to solving certain problems on occasion. The two dangers of relying heavily on Google though is losing knowledge & sometimes generating doubt in ones conclusions from a well-reasoned understanding of the problem, and encouraging inefficiencies when sometimes a little harder thought at a problem could solve it much faster due to having sufficient knowledge. My opinion is that there are pros and cons having the vast resources of the internet, and while it has mostly been a net positive thing, we should know to guard against the weaknesses that is possible to slip into being too heavily reliant on it.
