Had a coworker once who thought that memorizing facts made him smarter than everyone else. He wasn’t smart enough to not thoroughly irritate everyone he came in contact with, sadly.
I saw a story about this once. Everyone’s heads were connected to the cloud so they didn’t really have to learn anything, figure things out, etc. Except for one poor guy who’s brain wouldn’t connect. Everyone felt sorry for him until the whole system crashed….and then he became the one who taught everyone else how to do things the “old school way”.
The new GOOGLIFIED students are having a hard time studying and remembering critical nursing procedures. You don’t always have time to search while covering a crisis.
There’s also the little matter of critical thinking. If Toby were a little better at that he wouldn’t suggest that Google could solve ALL the knowledge gaps that he would have.

We must forgive him. He is a teenager, and therefore clueless.

I use Google to help fill in the gaps in my knowledge base
The extent of those gaps makes me wish I had learned even more in school
Wish I had spent more time with that set of Encyclopedias my parents bought when I was a kid, too

Maybe that’s the reason my kid’s school no longer even issues textbooks.

There are some who comment on these various comics that seem to think they know it all.

The problem with that is you have to be able to realize when Google is handing you a load of garbage disguised as facts.
