How is Google search affecting our intelligence?

Google is one of the famous search engine on the world wide web(www). It let us search

for things that we do not know or we have no idea of. Google’s mission is to organize the world’s

information and make it universally accessible and useful. The Google story begins in 1995 at

Stanford University founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin and was incorporated on September

4, 1998 (Larry Page and Sergey Brin, 1998).

It’s an undisputed fact and the one which has been established repeatedly that internet

affecting our intelligence by improving the quality of it in the form of providing comfort and ease,

however, the increasing dependency is silently taking a toll and it’s alarming. Overall, it’s believed

that technology is making us smarter and wiser by providing us with newer things on daily basis,

the increase in its need is harming us in a way that’s largely going unnoticed (A Different Version,

2019).

Searching online can make our research faster rather than reading books, magazines, and

newspapers. It may affect an individual’s intelligence because we are becoming more “stupid” and

“sophomoric” (Anna LeMind, 2012). We may become lazy to discover things outside and

decreases our creativity and imagination due to the ideas given by search engines. Having yourself

on the phone all the time searching on google may cause to laziness.

In conclusion, searching on Google affects our intelligence. It can make us unable to

explore on ourselves using the instruments around us. It is great to have google around, but we

should not rely just on the internet and on the web. We must read books in order for our brain

workout to discover new things about life. We must be aware of the reliability of the information

that the web search engines.
