A lecturer has criticised students for relying on websites like Google and Wikipedia to do their thinking for them.

Professor Tara Brabazon, from the University of Brighton, said too many young people around the world were taking the easy option when asked to do research and simply repeating the first things they found on internet searches.

[ Lecturer Bans Students From Using Google And Wikipedia (from The Argus) ]

I certainly hope she doesn't stop at this point and also bans them from using the computer to find books in the library. Card Catalog was good enough for her, why can't these kids just prepare for their future in the past, after all once they leave the university they won't have Google and Wikipedia to use as resources.

And ban copy machines and typewriters too, if 14th century monks could write out dozens of bibles in their lifetime, seems a student shouldn't rely on these modern crutches and just pick up a quill and vellum as we did before that accursed Gutenberg invented his devil contraption.

Props to Mak.
