Because when she questioning her classes, many see research as simply typing the question in Google then printing out the answers. In the past, without the Internet, a student who is solving a scientific problem may need to read a lot of materials and even implement an experiment. But today what the student needs to do is taking several minutes searching the keywords on Google. And during the past decades, students' math skill has declined because they have got powerful calculators to help them solve math problems.
