Is Google changing your ability to process information and retain information?

Since “Google” has become a verb, access to information on a wide variety of subject is just a keyboard away. An article ran in the July, 2008 issue of Atlantic magazine, titled ”Is Google making us Stoopid?.” I’ve become aware lately that I often think of answers to questions in terms of search terms. I keep a list in my purse of things to look up, and often spend time reading random information.

Do you use Google on a regular basis?
Has it changed how you think or process information?
Do you feel you know how to get the best searches out of Google?
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by information?
Do you find you retain less, or know less information than before? Do you read traditional sources of information less?
