A university lecturer in Brighton has banned her students from using Google, the Evening Argus has reported.
Professor Tara Brabazon, a media studies specialist, has warned that without interpretative skills students would fail to benefit from the technology.
"I ban my students from using Google, Wikipedia and other websites like that," she told the Argus. "I give them a reading list to work from and expect them to cite a good number of them in any work they produce."
She explained it was the responsibility of universities to provide guidance and has encouraged her students to read books rather than just search webpages.
She went on: "I want them to experience the pages and the print as much as the digitisation and the pixels."
Meanwhile the advent of the digital age has taken a step forward at Amazon, which has just released its interpretation of a digital book.
Kindle allows users to download entire books while they wirelessly connected to the internet.
