Study: The Internet makes you think you’re smarter than you really are

I like to think of the Internet as a gateway to the collective knowledge of the entire human race… more or less, but that might not be a good thing. According to a new study by the American Psychological Association, the access that we have to this knowledge actually makes us overestimate ourselves and what we know. Basically, being able to search things up on the Internet creates the illusion that we know more than we actually do.
