American
scientists declared that the time spent by young people now on the
Internet and gaming, this practice is gradually changing the model of
learning, reading and being together with others, scientists in the
various countries issued a similar warning: the more advanced computers,
more and more degradation of the human brain , and this phenomenon in
everyday life more seriously.
In today's modern life science
and technology has infiltrated everywhere, not only in aspects of life,
but also has expanded to education, spirit and entertainment fields.
Most children at an early age, in all aspects of life, education and
entertainment have united closely with technology and computers. Human
dependence on computers has exceeded the limit, this problem has become a
major concern in various scope.
Medical personnel in Japan do
intelligence testing on 150 young people aged between 20-35 years who
often use computers, they found more than 10% of their memory has
suffered serious setbacks, and some have been unable to remember the
names of friends and his appointment has made.
Professor of American psychiatry,
Gary Small says that each day related to the large number of internet,
mobile phones and other technology products, will change the way the
human brain works. If the use of technology products over time for
togetherness with others, in identifying the facial expressions and
other brain functions will also decline. This way people will become
increasingly strange and aloof, and lose interest in learning to
traditional ways.
The doctor said this problem
occurs mainly because in this computer age people excessively rely on
electronic products to help remember something, rarely use their own
brains to complete daily work and problems encountered in life. Internet
usage in the long term create an interactive and togetherness among
humans decreased. Scientists from Japan, Britain and the United States,
has issued a similar warning to the world: the more advanced computers,
more and more degradation of the human brain, and this phenomenon in
everyday life more seriously.
"Digital natives" Impact Of Inter-Human Interaction
The most affected are young
people that we are modern now refer to as "digital natives", ie people
who have been together for memudahan life and is closely integrated with
technology products since the early period when still a child.
Professor Dana Small states are very important to help young people
improve the skills to interact with others.
John Rowe, a 19-year-old Internet
enthusiast who lives in Pasadena, California, United States, in the
past he averaged 6-12 hours a day spent entrenched in the messenger,
internet, discussion forums and online games.
After hearing the recommendations
of Professor Rowe Fund Small said "If I do not often spend time
together with friends, in terms of interpersonal relationships would not
be able to deal with them as harmonious as it is today. You have no
friends in reality this life, can not interact with them. "He felt in a
week could be three or four out with friends, it's very good.
Is the Google Era Is Good or Worrying?
People in the past if you want to
get the desired information, a lot of reading. Now because of the
convenience of search engine on the internet, people will quickly find
relevant information, and reduce the enormous amount of time to read.
Professor Tara Brabazon from the University of Brighton, it's easy to
get information not only create curiosity of students to be blunt, the
more concern is students who are studying does not have the ability to
distinguish the accuracy of information on the Internet.
Former editor of books famous
Internet Nicholas Kaldor said "As a writer, the internet is like a
cornucopia of treasures that fall from the sky, in the past had to spend
several days doing research in the stacks of books, now only a few
minutes is over. For me, the Internet is being transformed into millions
of media, such as a pathway, through which information flows through
the eyes, ears and put it into my mind. "
Despite a wealth of information
has brought some certain comfort, but also seemed to begin to shape
thinking mode. Karl said: "The Internet seems to have destroyed the
ability to concentrate and think I am keen in the past. In the past, my
deep sea diver, and now it seems to me like stepping on a surfboard,
just fly over the ocean surface only. "
Professor Bruce Friedman of
Michigan Medical School are also mentioned: "Now kamauan me to read a
long article was almost lost completely. My mind has emerged a kind of
characteristic "staccato" (read bits and pieces). All of this comes from
the habit of fast browsing on the internet. "
Lowering the Learning Ability
Since 2000 years ago, the ancient
Greek philosopher Socrates has warned the traditional learning methods
with the oral method which has been replaced by learning by writing.
Socrates considers compared with the traditional way to learn orally, in
writing how to learn more shallow. Until recently, the popularity of
television and the Internet increasingly makes people feel worried about
a major change in approach to learning, worried about children under
the information that no good will become more ferocious, passive, and
influences their learning.
Armstrong was a famous educator
in Canada, in a book "Children and computers" shows the weakness of
teaching with computers. The dependence of children on the machine has
seriously hindered the development of children's intelligence. A U.S.
study also showed that elementary school students who increasingly rely
on computers, their arithmetic skills are also getting weaker. "
In a book by Maryanne Wolf with
the title of "Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading
Brain" he said, "Usually when kids are learning to read the brain will
develop slowly, it could only accept a more complex level . And analysis
of the reading will spend a lot to understand in depth can be learned
steadily. But the emphasis on the Internet is speed, how to gather
information quickly, therefore it can only understand the knowledge of
the surface. "
Maryanne said, if children from
the age of childhood continue to use the internet to acquire knowledge,
is likely to affect children's ability to think after reading. He also
said that all we need to discuss this issue in depth. In this digital
age, the children need is an educator's more appropriate to improve
their ability to understand the knowledge.
Do not Let the Computer Replace Your Mind
Google recently announced that
their goal is to to organize information from around the world and make
it available everywhere. Through a quick internet search engine, it can
quickly obtain the desired information. However, whether this is really
beneficial to the developing brain?
Karl said "Over the last few
years, I began to feel there is something unpleasant, I feel there are
certain people, or are there certain things are always in my brain
constantly screw up, make a return" image my computer ", or write back
the memory of the brain. He is in "if Google makes me more and more
stupid" to write, I've not used the methods used to think anymore.
He noticed, that once when
reading a book or a lengthy article, do not need to devote effort can
focus on one story. Now often read two or three times, his attention on
the disappearing.
Wolf believes that reading is not
a skill that people obtain from birth, do not like speaking it is our
genes. Must train our own brains, new characters can interpret what we
see as a whole and read a language we can understand. But if we always
compare the efficiency and put it on top of all, there will likely
reduce our ability to read in depth. The spirit of the rich thinking and
the ability to understand reading an article that is formed in such
depth that, in a very large coverage has been lost.
Many experts believe that the
Internet has not only changed the way humans to read, but also a way of
thinking, even his ego. Carl finally said: "I feel. When we rely on
computers as a medium of understanding the world, he will be our own
minds. "
Although the impact of computers
on the brain tissue still has a stage again for review, there are also
studies that say using the internet affect the operation of our minds.
But we can determine is, together to enjoy the comfort that can be
obtained, do not let the Internet computer network replaces the ability
to think oneself. Even the best computer, it also can only be a tool,
used appropriately, do not be too dependent, we are just not getting
lost in the Internet space.
