NYT: Internet Use Affects Memory, Study Finds
"The subjects were significantly more likely to remember information if they thought they would not be able to find it later. “Participants did not make the effort to remember when they thought they could later look up the trivia statement they had read,” the authors write."
How much money was spent on exploring what should be obvious? After all, memory does involve some volition, it's not "automatic."
