<DIV><I><BR></I></DIV>Have you heard about the internet rewiring our brains
and eating our memories? In her new book Mind Change, publicity expert
Baroness Professor Susan Greenfieldclaims this is what’s happening. She
describes the “Google Effect” where the internet becomes like an external
memory bank. She cites research published in 2011 by Betsy Sparrow and
colleagues – people who saved facts on a computer were less able to recall
those facts later as compared with people who were told the facts would be
erased. If we rely on computers in this way, what might become of us? “Imagine
that in the future people become so used to external access for any form of
reference that they have not internalized any facts at all,” Greenfield
warns.</I>
