So, I really liked this piece, as I observed a "dumbing down" of the output from university students when "information searching" became so easy via Google and other search engines. A lot of critical thinking fell by the wayside. So, this phenomenon is not limited to investment decision. I do have one critique, though. The data are boolean, and thus should not be represented by line graphs which suggest a continuous response. If a visual representation is desired, a simple bar graph would be better.

Interesting, I wonder what this means for the efficient market hypothesis
