What it is saying, is that instead of remembering content, we now remember how to find it using search engines.
In a way it is true. Search engines have done to knowledge what the calculator has to mental calculation. But in a way we are better off since we can now concentrate more effort on thinking our ideas through rather then on documenting them (while at the same time increasing the level of documentation). Before the internet, how often would people ask for the source of someone's statement?
Anyways, try http://ixquick.com/ . It's a search engine that doesn't log anything about you.
