Googlification

Science can’t accept technical barriers of content use!:
But I have a different worry. The worry’s called Google and I have a great fear that we are being "googlified". The great simplicity and the enormous quantitative search results that Google produces are being seen uncritically. This might result in a tendency to no longer use documents, articles and books, but to solve all our information problems using Google. There, information is not really indexed deeply enough and the algorithms behind the ranking are unclear. "Googlification" should create great concern for everybody in the information as well as education sector, including parents of children.
