Butterfly defect is a phenomenon that occurs when students "flutter from one enticing link on the Internet to the next, often forgetting what they are researching." They may begin with a homework assignment in which they research examples of a specific economic downturn. They begin a search by entering keywords into Google. An hour later, they have not completed their search or succeeded in
finding examples.
