I'm guilty of this with sites such as Google, youtube, and other search engines. Finding an answer to a question seems great and sometimes it is, but I've also noticed in myself the lack of initiative to figure something out for myself even something as simple as the name of a movie or how many oz in a cup..
This can be useful when needed information on something I would have no idea about and need accurate info on but more often than not I've been kinda lazy depending on a computer or a phone instead of my own mind.
And we don't know if what we look up is even the correct info or not. It's so easy to post something online now and many people choose to blindly trust the info they find, either out of ignorance or blind trust.
