In this information age, although information is easier to access and find in a matter of seconds because of search engines, quality researchers and writers have to find the truth and decipher what information is credible. By arguing that Google is dumbing us down, or stunting out intellectual minds from research, you are disrupting the natural evolution of technology and information. If anything, the easy access to information should be helping students create new ideas for future work and where the Internet can take us in the future. By not allowing students to use these resources, you are not allowing them to find out for themselves what information is credible and essentially you are taking steps back in technology.
Great minds and great writers are able to use all of these resources and pick and choose what information is credible and what information has a substantial amount of worth in papers, research, etc. What should come from the overload of information is a new system or database that only allows professors or respected minds to contribute.
