The Google effect can be interpreted as a helpful mechanism, which filters information before it enters the memory.

Having a wealth (rất nhiều, dồi dào) of information available at the tip of our fingers on the internet may seem like a good way to advance human intelligence. But a new study claims that Googling information actually makes us more likely to forget things, compared with reading it in a book – a phenomenon known as 'digital amnesia' or 'the Google effect'.

Let’s move on to the next topic on our list, the Google effect. This is probably something that most readers, especially students, are familiar with. We tend to treat information that can easily be searched up with a little less importance in comparison to other relevant facts and figures. It should be noted that we aren’t necessarily becoming less intelligent or are developing weaker memories; we just tend to not associate Google-able data with any form of importance, deciding to look into it later (or never). I guess the best way to deal with this form of digital amnesia is to simply be more conscious and alert when receiving any form of input from a different source.
