Chapter 7 - The Juggler's Brain

Now there is a serious problem: how can science tell us the way the actual impact of the use of the Internet?

So far I do not know if I can understand the impact of the Internet on our brains. Well, good news, it is finally out! This is my favorite chapter. The previous chapter is very interesting and provides a lot of data and information to think and handle, but Juggler's brain is what I was waiting for. This chapter summarizes the impact of the Internet on our brains.

"... networks are probably one of the most common methods for changing mind." Page 116

"The network attracts all our senses - so far they attract them at the same time." P. 117

"The network is attracting attention, and it is stronger than television, radio, morning newspaper." P 117

"The network is concentrating our attention to it, we focus on the media itself with a blinking screen, but we are distracted by the competition information and stimulation delivered soon by the media You are here. "Page 118

"Everyday use of computers, smartphones, search engines, etc. stimulates brain cell changes and neurotransmitter release, weakening the old neural pathway while gradually strengthening our new brain's neural pathway . "

"According to research, using certain computers and networks, certain cognitive skills are enhanced, sometimes even higher." 139

"... ... When it comes on line, our brains may become more flexible with multitasking, but actually improving our multitasking ability hinders our ability to think deeply and creatively "140 pages

"A new advantage of visual spatial intelligence is closely related to the weakening of our" deep processing "ability, which supports conscious knowledge acquisition, inductive analysis, critical thinking, imagination and reflection. "

"The network makes us smarter, in other words, only we define intelligence according to the network's own standard."

So what does this mean? Based on the above evidence, I think it is safe to conclude that the Internet is doing good things, and that may be somewhat harmful to how our brains work .

What do you think about the above? Can you share some examples of how the Internet might have a positive or negative impact on your brain function?

Nicholas Carr, in his article "The Juggler's Brain", tends to make physical movements such as keyboard input, mouse drag and drop, finger, iPad, iPod, iPhone, Blackberry when I go online It was pointed out. wait. On the Internet, I am crazy about three of the five senses; we use the sight to look at color pictures and text, listen to sounds and other signals, touch the keyboard and mouse. Through browsing the web, readers can introduce many activities that will have a positive impact on their brain and help them deepen their consciousness, but book readers are distracted by reading on-line It suggests that the possibility is high. Spreading this distraction can interfere with deeper reading than online readers. He insists that the Internet can influence the reader's thinking by interfering with deep thinking.

So far I do not know if I can understand the impact of the Internet on our brains. Well, good news, it is finally out! This is my favorite chapter. The previous chapter is very interesting and provides a lot of data and information to think and handle, but Juggler's brain is what I was waiting for. This chapter summarizes the impact of the Internet on our brains.

In short, in Brain Rules, a molecular biologist Dr. John Medina shared a lifelong interest in how brain science influences how we work with our children and how to work. . In each chapter, he explains the brain's law - certain knowledge about how our brain works - and then provides a transformational idea for our daily life. In short, the authors believe that economic success is due to 15% of expertise and 85% "expression of ideas, ability to guide people and motivate them". He teaches these skills through the basic principles of dealing with people and makes them appreciate them for their importance.
