Re:Is Google Wrecking Our Memory? Nope. It’s much, much weir... by _nate_ on Saturday September 21, 2013 @09:35AM (#6422892)
This immediately made me think of how my co-workers and I interact. If I can’t remember a random bit of work related info, I start querying the relevant people I think my have the answer. I share an office with six people, so the answer can be found very quickly, as everyone hears the query (this is not an endorsement for shared work spaces, I absolutely hate sharing an office with so many people). So to think I’m using google as a seventh office mate or as a “Transactive Memory” tool is fascinating.
