Google boggling our brains? Study says humans use internet as their main 'memory'

Google boggling our brains? Study says humans use internet as their main 'memory': "The Internet is becoming our main source of memory instead of our own brains, a study has concluded.

In the age of Google, our minds are adapting so that we are experts at knowing where to find information even though we don’t recall what it is.

The researchers found that when we want to know something we use the Internet as an ‘external memory’ just as computers use an external hard drive."
