Google – A Memory Sucker
0“Google it”, a synonym to search has revolutionized the Internet. Today every information is available not only at an arm but at a finger distance. Since all information is available so easily, it has made us lethargic in remembering that has lead this world to a genuine problem of memory loss which doesn’t seems to be a problem now but is a disaster for the new generation.
Even an alphabet typing gives us the response (thanks to the AJAX technology) there is absolutely no need to remember anything. The Internet has become a primary form of external or transitive memory, where information is stored collectively outside us. It is like outsourcing, only from neurons to data bytes.
Times certainly have changed. I can still remember having to memorize stuff back in grade school like linking verbs—”is, am, are, was, were, have, has, had, etc.”—as if reciting a ritual chant. Since the advent of search engines, we are reorganizing the way we remember things. Our brains rely on the Internet for memory in much the same way they rely on the memory of a friend, family member or co-worker. We remember less through knowing information itself than by knowing where the information can be found.
The worst thing about this memory loss problem is its like a stairway. The more you use it, the more you are eloped by its effects. Search engines like Google are simply becoming extensions of our brains, sort of like wireless cybernetics. And since there is a lot of information available at our disposal we immediately tend to compare the better and forget. This situation projects even worse effects due to the kind of people involved which is mostly younger generation. In the growing year when human brain has maximum grasping and remembering capability Google is creating a swamp for memory loss. It will be really difficult for them to have an even “ok” memory when old.
There its really important to pay attention to this logarithmic rising problem and have a check so its effects are minimized for human race.

There’s something amazing about how flexible the human memory system is, and if we could extract the basic algorithm used by the human mind, then one would imagine it would be very useful. I don’t know if we’d be able to beat Google ever.

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.
The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.
So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.
The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,
“Do you know where God is, son?”
The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.
So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?!”
Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed,
“Where is God?!”
The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “what happened?”
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time.
GOD is missing, and they think we did it!
First time huh?

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love
for the first time.
Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. He tells the pharmacist it’s his first time and the pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour.
He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex.
At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he’d like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his
first time and all.

That night, the boy shows up at the girl’s parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. “Oh, I’m so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!”
The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl’s parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head.
A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down.
10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy.
Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, “I had no idea you were this religious.”
The boy turns, and whispers back, “I had no idea your father was a pharmacist.”
Just Rajni!
