Reconstruction of destroyed GDR documents - puzzle with 600M pieces

The BBC article discusses the impact of the Internet on our memory and information retention in the digital age. Nowadays, when we have access to nearly unlimited information at the click of a button, our ability to remember things seems to be declining. In the past, people had to rely on their memory and ability to process information, but now the internet is becoming our 'external brain.' This leads to a situation where many of us do not remember facts but only recall where they can find them. The author emphasizes that this phenomenon can affect how we understand and process knowledge. Instead of learning and absorbing information, many people opt for quick searches, treating the knowledge gained as a temporary resource, which may lead to a superficial understanding of the material.
