Discussed since 2007 digital amnesia The concept of the concept tells us that we forget what we have learned because we spend a lot of time on the internet, but for some reason we do not forget the source where we get the information from.

In general, this is seen in conjunction with the Google influence. How works? For example, thanks to Google, we can achieve anything, if not the effect of Google on us? After a while we can forget all the information we get from the internet. So that’s amnesia. a kind of forgetfulness it causes. The point to be discussed here is that we forget ‘information’, which we must not forget, not to mention a digital source from which we reach the information. Come on, let’s put the matter on the table.

Why don’t we forget from which digital source we get the information?

Because the digital world acts as an external source for our memory. We embrace digital resources as part of transactive memory. Transactional Memory means you need another object, person, or situation to remember something. So, as you can see, we still need the Internet, a digital tool, to remember the information we get from a digital search engine.

See it this way; to be able to consult everything on google that search engine It gives you confidence and you don’t have to keep remembering the information you have learned because you can refer to it again. This is exactly how digital amnesia and the Google effect affect each other.

Disadvantages of not remembering information by saying “I’ll Google it anyway”;

For example, now most students can easily add digital resources to the bibliography of their assignments. Problematic situations arise when teachers want to test students’ knowledge. For example, instead of working out the information gathered in detail, a person may begin to express an opinion about the source from which he received the information. The bottom line is that you are giving it away in an environment where many of the digital resources are considered unreliable. references won’t do anything and it gets you in trouble.

Let’s say there is some information that you need to remember for the rest of your life, and you forgot how to ask for it on the internet. This will also pose a big problem because that information is something you should always remember. Because in the end we can talk about anything, Don’t trust Google too much. There are benefits. Do any of you say that I often experience this situation? If you have one, we’re waiting for you to share your thoughts in the comments.
