Teens lose ability to read and write long texts because of Internet


Today I read an article in The Spectator it causes me a lot concern and confirms my suspicions about something I'd always thought, the Internet has changed many aspects of human life, which has even changed our structure of thinking, but unfortunately not for the better, but for the worse.

is well known that the generation of the Internet have fragmented type thinking, multitasking (you can do several things at the same time for a short period of time), and to execute orders quickly. But analytical skills, logical thinking and long-term focus is being lost. A serious situation if we look at the areas of knowledge needed skills described above.
I invite you to read the article and give me your opinion.

ability to read and write long texts because of Internet

The Network is undermining the ability of concentration of young people.

The Internet is undermining the attention span of young people, according to a study led by Professor David Nicholas, University College London. According to this survey, teenagers are losing the ability read and write long texts because the network shapes the minds so that work differently from those of previous generations. The researchers studied how hundreds of individuals aged between twelve and eighteen responded to questions that required some research. Most adolescents replied after consulting half the Internet sites that adults and their responses were more incomplete. According to Professor Nicholas, 40 percent of those who participated in the study did not consult more than three pages of the thousands available on the Web sobre un tema determinado. Por el contrario, las personas que se educaron antes de la llegada de Internet volvían a las fuentes y profundizaban en ellas en lugar de saltar de una página a otra. "Hay pruebas empíricas de que la sobrecarga de información y el pensamiento asociativo está remoldeando el funcionamiento del cerebro de los jóvenes", afirma el psicólogo Aleks Krotoski.
