Google-itis 

An individual who cannot help but use Google searches to come up with all the answers to every unanswered question. They also use Google to validate any statement they make. They act as a know-it-all with the support of Google. These individuals automatically supply answers when any question arises. Thinking they are being helpful, they email or text you the answers until you simply want to die.
