It may not be making us any smarter but it's sure as hell making us more well read.
I've learned shit from Google that I'd never have learned no matter how much reading I'd have done and I've learned one hell of alot from other people that I sure as hell would never have interacted with had it not been for Google and the internet so, for me it definitely hasn't made me smarter but it's made me much more well rounded as a person.
Besides now we can all compete with Ken Jennings on Jeopardy and stand a chance.
