I agree to an extent, and I do use Google a lot when programming. However, I'm a systems administrator by trade and not a programmer. I have been in cases when I've wanted to write code in a cabin in Nova Scotia with no internet and wasn't able to get everything accomplished because I was unable to Google and didn't have the docs on hand.
I'd be really wary of telling people not to remember stuff and rely on the internet. The primary reason being sometimes you can't access the internet. As a sysadmin it's my job to understand this and document everything. It was personally embarrassing when I realized all I had to do was download a couple pdfs and I'd of been fine.
You may not need to keep everything in your head. However, having direct access to knowledge is important. If it's not in your head, then keep it in a local file or what I'm really fond of, get the book.
