The Google effect, also called digital amnesia,[1] is the tendency to forget information that can be found readily online by using Internet search engines. According to the first study about the Google effect, people are less likely to remember certain details they believe will be accessible online. However, the study also claims that people's ability to learn information offline remains the same.[2] This effect may also be seen as a change to what information and what level of detail is considered to be important to remember.
