From the BBC:
For middle aged and older people at least, using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.
A University of California Los Angeles team found searching the web stimulates centres in the brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning.
So: not just a weapon of mass distraction. What you’re doing right now could actually be good for you.
Who knew?
(Disclaimer: I can’t find the study that supposedly shows this, and journalists, even BBC journalists, being what they are, it may not actually show this at all. But interesting.)
