Does the internet make people smarter?

can not. It is a library. Various knowledge can interact with it. I have to develop myself enough to make the most of it

My main concern for future intelligence, cognition, and mental health is that the research clearly shows that the empathy rate of people using social media and the Internet has dropped by 40%. Given that it is the biological source of all ethics, there is little emotional intelligence and ability to love or socialize. Mobile phones are currently listed as addiction by most experts. For many people. The average person is watching 300 times a day. The iPad, laptop, and other contributions are similar. Since the range of attention is decreasing, you can get instincts (most direct way, deepest wisdom, wisdom etc). These two links are the tip of a corner of the iceberg. The New York Times newspaper said:

Pola Pond Stone: The electronic device and the child's brain are not mixed (the video in two and a half minutes is a revelation and an incredibly witty humor, brilliant, funny inspiration)

Nobody can take care of it wisely. Quorans is brighter than usual, but despite having a New York period and a famous comedian link (also listed above), we can not recognize the problem in less than 90. Encourage you how to shrug your shoulders, do nothing, encourage, and guarantee how impotent it is.

According to a survey of Pew, 76% of respondents said that by 2020 "People are using the Internet to enhance human intelligence, and as people get more information than ever they become smarter and better" It was. Nicholas Karl is wrong: Google will not decline us. Carl, one of the people surveyed in this report, said that he supports his sentences, author of the book "The Big Shift: Rewiring the World from Edison to Google". "But we must add that the impact of the Internet on our intellectual life is not measured by the average IQ score," says Pew's report.

As we rediscover our new learning methods, Google makes us smarter. "Is Google proud of us?", Nicholas Carr expressed deep concern about the use of the Internet and how it will affect our brain. The main argument of Karl is that during the reading the Internet may have a devastating effect on recognition; it will weaken the ability to concentrate and contemplate. Carr strongly believes the problem of the Internet rather than exploring deeper into it, and how we need to view the information.

Does the Internet make us smarter or clumsy? Wall Street Journal summarized several provocative articles this weekend. One of them is from Nick Karl, the latest book, The Shallows, that the Internet does not narrow down our focus and generally insists low intelligence. Another book by Clay Shirky, with its latest work "Cognitive Surplus", thinks that the Internet is good for both individuals and society. Who won this argument? It can be said that only readers can find valuable things in two ways. Of course, not everyone can overwhelmingly win - primarily because both of them are correct.
