Do Search Engines Make You Infomaniacs?
Does Internet search engines help build your IQ? Or perhaps the other way around? Are the web search engines making you an infomaniac?
No. Not the fictional character in the LEGO Island series of games who oftentimes forgets things and loses his train of thought.
Ask yourself: Are you an infomaniac?
Mind1st has this to say: Infomaniacs are often in denial and will justify their actions by maintaining there is no other way. Everyone accepts that technology is here to stay but few will admit that they cannot function as a human being without it. In other words, Infomaniacs are unable to switch off but at the same time they refuse to accept they have a problem.
For those of you who are still in doubt, there is only one fool proof way to check and no you don't have to complete an online test to do it. Just try turning off your computer and your mobile phone for a few days. If you can't, I rest my case.
Reality check: Is the web making our minds stink? Think hard.

Like every other things in the world, Search engines Like Google, Yahoo etc. also have disadvantages to go along with its advantages.
I think you must be aware of it’s weak points, if you misuse net.
The names you mentions, are one of the finest and best search engines on the the net. You can use them to find any information that exists in the Internet, related web pages, pictures, news, updates you required. But you (or others) can also download hacking tools etc. So there is a hazard out there. Bear it in mind.
