For all the "Google is ruining our memory" stuff, isn't there a complement of how much it fills in the gaps? There are so many times I've wanted to know something more, and thanks to Google I can -- quickly and easily. My brain retains all these breadcrumbs, and I am able to recall them fairly easily. I'd argue that such ready availability of knowledge is increasing our breadth, perhaps to some detriment of depth, but I still think that's a net win. If I need the depth, I can get it easily, and retain it for the task-at-hand. The article also assumes we hand over our critical thinking skills to the likes of Google, which is obviously a fallacy.
