•  Consequences on health : a controversial issue : ü  Dr Gary Small of UCLA : the Internet is changing us

Ø Repeated daily actions such as web research and browsing direct the growth of neurons and connections within the brain, affecting thinking and behaviour.

Ø Research at UCLA has revealed that just one hour of internet use per day can measurably boost brain function. Ø  "As our brain is plastic and remoulds itself in accordance to our daily

activities, prolonged computer use can have a profound effect on the way we think, feel and behave,we can learn to react more quickly to visual stimuli and improve many forms of attention. We develop a better ability to sift through large amounts of information rapidly and decide what's important and what isn't. In this way, we adapt to cope with the massive amounts of information appearing and disappearing on our mental screens from moment to moment."
