ABSTRACT

Talking of a new generation, whenever anyone, anywhere, has a problem, the first thing they almost always do is to look into search engines to find solutions. Instead of looking for how to solve something and puzzling through the solution on their own, people would rather search for a solution that someone else has created. Same attitude is developed by people of almost all fields and ages. For any research purpose, a scholar nowadays seldom spends time with the books or reliable sources. A person always wants to seek readymade answers and overwhelming Internet information--in order to save hard work and efforts. Though, it doesn't mean that one should stop searching for information online. There is an enormous wealth of information online, and it wouldn't be wise to ignore it completely. An attitude needs to be developed where brain uses reliable sources of information rather than picking on already present work. The basic purpose of research is to make an effort to contribute more to what is known about how the Google is adding to the knowledge and affecting the minds. This paper will look how googling everything is affecting the researching skills of a person. To meet the purpose of this paper a questionnaire was devised to collect the responses.
