How many hours per day do you use the internet? Well, according to a report from Mashable, Inc. Today’s connected generation collectively spends 35 billion hours on the internet every month. I know people that spend that much time all by themselves.
From the story, researched compiled by ForensicPsychology.net, reveals that multi-tasking actually raises stress levels and lowers creativity. Heavy internet users are 2.5 times more likely to be depressed.
Basically what they are saying is that if you stay on the internet, your brain will turn to mush. That explains a lot of people I know.
When I started using the net back in the old days, about all you could find were portals into various university or government libraries or documents. Now, I don’t seem to be able to find anything that has much credibility. Heck I could set up my own website as an expert in something. Nobody would question it.
I must confess I used to spend a lot of time surfing. Now, I just try to get done what I have to do.
My brain is "mushy" enough.
