Google and the human stupidity industry
<html>
<p>In 1964, Picasso was asked in one of his interviews about new &nbsp;computerized electronic machines, which soon became known as computers. &nbsp;"It's useless and can only give you answers," he said.</p>

<p>We are now living in an age of answers and information accumulation. He believed that the ancient Bibliotheca Alexandrina contained universal knowledge as a whole. Today, there is enough information to give everyone - alive - the &nbsp;amount that has been collected in Alexandria three times, almost all &nbsp;accessible to anyone with an Internet connection.<br>
</p>
<p>This &nbsp;huge library is accompanied everywhere, and Google - the head of this &nbsp;library - deals with our inquiries with amazing efficiency. Our &nbsp;distractions around the dining table have been solved with our smart &nbsp;phones, and many university students are using a mixture of Wikipedia &nbsp;articles to fabricate and complete their academic articles. In a short period of time, we have become accustomed to an inexhaustible resource of superficial superficial answers. It can be said that we are now fully dependent on them.<br>
</p>
<p>Google is known to be the dominant search engine, and yet hardly find another search engine competitor. The &nbsp;time gap between crystallizing the question in your mind and finding &nbsp;its answer decreases over time thanks to the use of Google and the web. As a result, we have become able to ask questions in atrophy and degradation. "If the search engine is more accurate, the more people are more idle &nbsp;and lazy," Google's head of research, Amit Singhal, asked whether people &nbsp;in their research queries were improving or not.<br>
</p>
<p>Google's strategy in dealing with our hasty questions contributes to the creation of many unnecessary and useless questions. The &nbsp;focus of Singal - the head of research at Google - focused on &nbsp;"eliminating every possible point of difference between the ideas of &nbsp;users, and the information they want to search for them." "When &nbsp;you think of something you do not know much about, you'll get the &nbsp;information - by this thing - automatically, thanks to this chip," Larry &nbsp;Page, the chief executive of Google, said of the day Google is growing &nbsp;in the brains of people. One day the gap between question and answer will disappear forever.<br>
</p>
<p>I think that we must strive to keep this gap between questioning and finding the answer to this question. In this gap lies the curiosity of knowledge, and underestimating this passion of knowledge makes us in danger.<br>
</p>
<p>The &nbsp;Internet often develops in us the sense of cognitive illusion and the &nbsp;illusion of our cognitive ability, and the total scourge of this feeling &nbsp;that it obscures us and prevents us from passion and the real desire to &nbsp;learn and love of knowledge. Psychologist &nbsp;George Loewenstein (cognitive passion) defined a simple and powerful &nbsp;definition of cognitive passion as "an attempt to fill gaps and &nbsp;cognitive gaps". Knowing how ignorant you are in many things, you have the desire to learn more and more. Lewenstein &nbsp;pointed out that a person who knows the capitals of three states out of &nbsp;50 US states, is likely to think of himself that he knows well ("I know &nbsp;the capitals of three states"). On the other hand, a person who has learned the names of 47 state &nbsp;capitals will likely think of himself as unaware of the capitals of the &nbsp;remaining three states and will therefore make a greater effort to know &nbsp;them.<br>
</p>
<p>The &nbsp;word "effort" is the core in this subject. It is not surprising that we &nbsp;tend to search the Internet for its simplicity and ease of finding it. &nbsp;Our minds are designed to avoid any hard work. In &nbsp;this context, psychologists Susan Fisk and Shelley Taylor formulated &nbsp;the term "cognitive stupidity" to describe the scarcity that captures &nbsp;the brain and urges it to devote the minimum concentration and effort to &nbsp;understanding an issue. The more information we get, the faster it will be lost. The &nbsp;difficulty and failure - which Google aims to reduce - is one of the &nbsp;important ways to develop thinking and develop the mind and &nbsp;understanding effectively. If the information comes on a plate of gold, the brain will be &nbsp;devoured and will not remain long, and soon it will leave our minds.<br>
</p>
<p>A &nbsp;big question - too hot - often makes us embark on a journey of &nbsp;exploration, exploration and challenge, but the immediate answers keep &nbsp;us in our situation. Just having time to ferment the questions in our minds, our thinking queen develops and sees things that were not in our minds. It is true that paper-based research is inefficient and takes a lot of &nbsp;time compared to its electronic counterpart; but as the pages flipped &nbsp;through those books, information we wanted could pop up and we did not &nbsp;know at the time that we wanted it.<br>
</p>
<p>Scientific progress is often achieved and creativity flourishes in the time gap between question-and-answer-to-answer. When &nbsp;we celebrate great thinkers, most of our focus is on their smart and &nbsp;innovative answers, while these thinkers tend to see them on the &nbsp;contrary. Charles Darwin says: "I think the difficulty lies in seeing problems much more than just being able to solve them." The famous Russian writer Anton Chekhov says: "The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them." The exact definition of the bad work of the artist is to insist on &nbsp;telling the canned answers to the audience, and the world that thinks he &nbsp;has all the answers is not a scientist at all.<br>
</p>
<p>The &nbsp;great physicist James Maxwell has hinted at a clever metaphor: &nbsp;"Consciousness is the introduction to every real development in &nbsp;science." Good questions - in the case of conscious ignorance - motivate &nbsp;us to focus our attention and our efforts on what we do not know. As neuroscientist Stuart Firestein says: "Science produces ignorance at a faster rate than its production of knowledge."<br>
</p>
<blockquote>"Full awareness of ignorance is the introduction to every real development in science"&nbsp;</blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;Human &nbsp;beings are consciously aware of ignorance - as opposed to other beings - &nbsp;and it is this awareness of ignorance that motivates children to ask &nbsp;questions about everything, and makes them strive to learn things and &nbsp;seek to raise their own ignorance by asking their elders. In &nbsp;2007, Michael Schoenard, a professor of psychology at the University of &nbsp;California, analyzed recordings of four children interacting with their &nbsp;caregivers. Each recording was two hours at a time, with a combined &nbsp;total of more than 200 hours. She concluded that the child posed more than 100 questions per hour. Children &nbsp;are instinctively aware that there is a huge amount of information they &nbsp;do not know, and that they need to dig under the virtual world to reach &nbsp;it. In these pits, young children use questions to get simple, abstract &nbsp;information - such as "what is this thing called?" Their questions tend to be more aware, which is the approach of scrutiny. Their questions are to look for explanations and explanations rather &nbsp;than abstract information. Their questions include "Why?" And "How?".<br>
</p>
<p>The core of the problem lies not in technology and the Internet itself, but the problem is how we use it. It is not the Internet that makes us idiots or fools; We &nbsp;need to harness technology and the Internet to serve our "cognitive &nbsp;passion" and develop our ways of thinking; not just taking abstract &nbsp;information without a knowledge thread. "These technical devices are used for answers; the importance of human &nbsp;beings is to raise and direct conscious cognitive questions." Conscious &nbsp;questions are the secret key to cognitive development and real &nbsp;development.<br>
</p>
<p>The &nbsp;Internet has enormous potential and capacity to be the greatest tool &nbsp;for innovative intellectual exploration if we treat it as a complement &nbsp;to our talents and effort; not as a substitute for it. In &nbsp;a world steeped in ready-made answers, it is becoming more and more &nbsp;important to ask difficult questions and questions, more than ever &nbsp;before, to raise the level of science and stimulate the passion of &nbsp;knowledge and urge serious research to acquire the real knowledge that &nbsp;includes information in the right places and put it in a clear vision &nbsp;system On the superficial superficial information answers, which prevent us from seeing things as they are.<br>

<p><strong>Picasso was right to say, but he said half the truth; computers are useless when used without a real humanistic passion.&nbsp;</strong></p>
