“Google offers easy answers to difficult questions. But students do not know how to tell if they come from serious, refereed work or are merely composed of shallow ideas, superficial surfing and fleeting commitments.

Teaching students how to distinguish between the two is the purpose of education. The inability to do so is not the fault of Google. If, after a college education, they are still unable to do so, the fault is still not that of Google.

It’s akin to saying, “Public libraries are to blame for illiteracy.”
