According to Dr. Gary Small, a UCLA scientist, all this activity related to Internet has changed subtly. Small, which is actually one of the leading neurologists in the United States, has just published a book entitled "Ibrain - Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind" (something like "Ibrain - Surviving the Technological Alteration of the mind Modern "), which describes how to create that new technologies impact on our brain. The research results indicate that the use of internet and web browsing "have a marked effect on our brains," which, again according to his sayings, are much more flexible than most people realize. Especially Small reminds us, in the case of young people.
Most of our daily actions, repeated ad nauseam, as research and web-browsing can even promote the growth of neurons and their connections within the brain, affecting our thinking and behavior. Of course, as often happens, not all good news. While the Internet appears to increase our brain functions in some respects, the work of Small found she could lead, for example, to memory loss. In fact, known some research suggesting links between the excessive use of computer and Conditions medical as attention deficit disorder, depression and anxiety, especially among young people.
But it is quite possible that the positive aspects of Internet use outweigh their harmful effects. The UCLA research has shown that just one hour of Internet use per day can improve brain function audibly. "As our brain is shaped by our daily activities and computer use, changes may have profound effects on our thinking, feeling and behaving," says Professor Small. "We can improve our reaction times to visual stimuli and improve many ways our attention spans. Develop a greater ability to quickly sift through large amounts of information and decide what is important and what does not interest us. Thus, we adapt to cope with the massive amounts of information that appear and disappear in our mental screens continuously. "
However, some researchers located opposite the village of Small fear that prolonged use of computers may damage some social skills. A study by Stanford University, for example, found that for every hour we spend on our computers, the interaction time "traditional" with other people, face to face decreases by about 30 minutes. With less physical contact and failing to use body language, we run the risk of starting to misinterpret others. Our relationships can suffer, because the brain areas located in the prefrontal cortex, which respond to facial expressions, increasingly are less developed.
seems that opinions are divided. Quite obviously, if we go to extremes, a guy who spends 20 hours a day in front of a computer is almost an idiot in the real world: Put in a pub in front of a lady start to look like crazy mouse or button "play." But it is undeniable that our brains-and run sea utilizando internet o cualquier otra herramienta- a largo plazo tiene que ser positivo. El secreto, como dice Small, parece ser encontrar un cierto equilibrio entre el tiempo que le dedicamos a cada cosa.
