Empty calories for empty minds. Students are not interested in the meat of the matter. They lack analytical skills. However do us Professors inspire them? Motivate them? I would love to get my students off the Wiki and the Google search engine. White Bread is the right terminology for these scholars. Empty calories for empty minds.

My first reaction to the article was that Ms. Brabazon was shooting the messenger, Google. And, how will she know if her students use Google as their search engine?
