How is the Internet affecting our intelligence?
According to statistic, over 55% of the world's population use the Internet every day. Moreover, this number is rising exponentially, and it will increase to 70% by 2025. We can't deny the Internet's impact on our life. But how does it impact on our intelligence? In my opinion, it could be good, as well as bad.
On the one hand, we can use the Internet in more positive ways than one. Let's take, by way of example, education. The Internet allows us to learn all new sort of things. There are a lot of educational resources available online, for almost every topic. Moreover, million of books, journals and other materials are accessible through the Internet. We can use them to improve our knowledge in those areas that interest us.
On the other hand, there are a lot of negative impacts of the Internet too. Let's take an information overload, for instance. There is too many information which we consume every day. When we are dealing with too much information, it is impact to our ability to make decisions, contemplate and communicate with other people. It can adversely affect our work, school and personal life. Moreover, it can lead to depression, lack of concentration and loss of ability to achieve goals.
As shown above, the effects of the Internet to people can be both positive and negative. Bearing in mind the rate of growing up the global web, there is a need to manage this technology for man’s overall benefit. Using the Internet, we can improve our intelligence, but first we have to learn how to deal with those disadvantages.
