The one thing that this post completely overlooks is that storing knowledge, even Googleable knowledge, can be very beneficial. Knowledge can help develop intuition, to know which pieces connect to each other. For example, in a programming competition you could google various algorithms to determine solutions. But Google won't tell you "which" algorithms to look for, or give you the intuition you need to piece the correct solution together. A good analogy is chess. Before computers could beat humans, it was a pure game of human mind vs. human mind. Then the computer was able to dominate humans. And now, we're discovering that a human paired with a computer, can beat either alone. But that human still needs to have the intuition, experience, and knowledge to know how to work with the computer.
