I will write this down for you

There is a statement in the article "Survey: Searchers are Confident, Satisfied & Clueless," that I really agree with and that is "as people gain experience with search engines, they also develop critical thinking skills that can help them avoid low quality or deceptive information." I think this is extremely important because it doesn't really matter if people are cluelessly confident in their ability to use search engines, all that matters is that they are able to find what they want to find. The validity of the information on the website is a problem of its own entirely, but if users use a search engine and are unable to find what they are looking for, they obviously have to adapt their search and eventually most people will come to understand how they can make their searches more effective. I don't think it matters how "elementary" people are in their ability to use a search engine if they are able to find the information they set out to find, even if it isn't the most efficient or time-saving way to do it.
