The BBC article that studied brains provided some nice positive results for the web. Browsing websites actually provides more brain activity in 50 year old men than reading a book. This supports much of my own ideas that it does increase the speed of our brain activity by catching up with technology. As always however this provides new questions into ethics and how much we as humans must struggle as a natural process to learning. It is proven that we learn more through experience so mistakes and effort cause information to be more firmly planted in our minds. Just as teaching a subject can cause one to learn much more that just sitting in as a student.
The increase in ADHD children can be a result of the speed of our communication nowadays. With so much information practically being hoarded up and dumped on us, we must understand ourselves more than ever to filter out useless bits and hold onto what we need.
