Is Google Destroying Our Memory?

I found an interesting article regarding how we relay on Internet search engines and Wikipedia to look for information we do not need to memorize.

What I personally promote is the fact that education needs to re-focus itself into understanding how concepts work and relate to each other through formative assessment than memorizing or learning by heart. Purely quantitative evaluation hinders the learning process because numbers do not necessarily tell the whole story behind a student's development.

It is our duty as educators to provide a platform that will structure the minds of students to gather new knowledge through appreciation of what makes a concept exist, and how it relates to daily life.
