The widespread use of the web led many to suffer a significant attention deficit when other activities. How have you changed your mind since people became Internet users



Unproductive hyperactivity is a behavior disorder characterized by intense motor activity with no apparent objective. This problem is often linked to another: attention deficit disorder. So, who have both found it very hard to concentrate on tasks involving cognitive functions, even as "simple" how to write and read while maintaining a coherent argument.

This disorder is associated in recent times, the widespread use of internet. The breakdown of the linearity of the reading, the synthesis of content and simplicity of the words strike a deep reflective activity that includes arguments, long words and complex constructions.

Since the surfer is always harassed by distractions (advertising, colors, music, news, instant information, etc.) it is impossible to concentrate in front of the screen, and drag this inconvenience to any other activity you want to address literacy outside the web.

Some time ago, the Argentine writer Alberto Manguel said about what reading offers internet-which he described as "superficial" - and how it affects the concentration when approaching a traditional book.

"There is a reading of ingestion, we understand what is in the text but stays in the same way" that what is read in a book, the essayist said in an interview with Rome daily Il Messaggero.

Nicholas Carr, an expert in Literature and Language at Harvard University, was among the first to notice this lack of attention due to long hours surfing the net. "I lost the thread (from what I was doing) and wanted to start another activity like seeing my email, a blog or write an e-mail", "expressed in his book The Shallows: what Internet is doing to Our brain (the surface : what the Internet is doing to our brain), released in the United States last June.

According to his hypothesis, the site became "light and scattered" people thought. He felt that his brain had "adapted"-style network processing, as always "asking" for information limited, new particles and synthesized, a situation that prevented the mind retain information and to consolidate long-term memory term. Concluded that the Internet is faster and automatic mentally, but less rigorous, deep in thought.

The scientific basis of this work is on research by Gary Small, a specialist at the University of California. Small studied the behavior of people assiduous Internet and other less affected, and found that in only five days of practice on the web these past achievements create new neural pathways in the mind, although the new born brain skills to remove capacity other cognitive areas.

Meanwhile, Michael Merzenich, a pioneer in the field of neuroplasticity, Internet browsing habits remain outside the network.

"We are adopting the same habits of thought, distracted, rushed and superficial," Carr concluded, as published in the blog imbalances. Reading and Culture.
