I have talked about this particular blog in many of my conversations with friends. We all agree, and we all notice how easily we give up... and reach for google.

I'm still thinking... I'm just not digging around for random bits of trivia. I also think of Google as playing the role of that friend who knows a bunch about X that I don't, and who I rely on when I'm clueless about a topic.<br /><br />(It depends on the trivia, of course. Weird nature-y stuff seems to glue itself to my brain and stick quite firmly. The names of actors and movies and dates of various Oscars... that stuff falls right back out, and no amount of thought will bring it back. So, yay for Google.)Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041247235612040796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-50657222142307073312010-01-22T17:36:40.883-05:002010-01-22T17:36:40.883-05:00I love all sorts of logic puzzle especially those ...I love all sorts of logic puzzle especially those that bug me very much.mehndi designshttp://www.indianweddingadvisor.com/hennamehndi/mehndi-designs/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-51711218941216155772010-01-22T12:21:25.363-05:002010-01-22T12:21:25.363-05:00Crossword puzzles, knitting, and playing math and ...Crossword puzzles, knitting, and playing math and word games.<br /><br />Logic puzzles of all sorts.<br /><br />And giving yourself 10 to 15 minutes before you google.Liz Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469435277058701080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-75190732502236750662010-01-21T22:46:53.615-05:002010-01-21T22:46:53.615-05:00Very good point!

I still try to remember stuff "the old way" as much as I can and I've always seen the beauty of Google as the ability of finding out useful things that can really help me learn more (particularly about various medical conditions ;-). <br /><br />In any case, my uncle had brain surgery and we're looking into ways to stimulate his brain, so a few hours ago I was checking various games that are supposed to do just that (Brain Age and Brain Age 2 for the Nintendo DS, for example). Perhaps we will have to resort to electronic things like those to keep our brains in shape.Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809018728037248794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-36794640991563607012010-01-21T21:44:11.264-05:002010-01-21T21:44:11.264-05:00Googling the answers does kind of take the fun out...Googling the answers does kind of take the fun out of those conversations...Sarah Sometimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09415284135104217978noreply@blogger.com
