A study shows how the Internet is bad for us that finds people are more likely to remember where they found info as opposed to what information they found. From Ars Technica: “The results from all four experiments suggest that people expect computerized information to be continuously available, and actually remember less when they know they’ll have access to it later. We also seem to remember where we can find information instead of the information itself.”
