I came across an interesting book
"The University of Google" by Tara Brabazon.
This book discusses about the use of google search engine as information finder and how students are using it as the only source of research.
I am still reading the first part of the book and following were some interesting things I read in the book.
"Google ranking of search pages is by the popularity and the number of links and hits to a site. But highly ideological sites with popularity but not qualitative importance or significance can return higher ranking in a google search. Google is the internet equivalent of reality television."
