A recent study was conducted to assess the impact of the internet on our thinking process and the findings reveal that the use of the internet has actually rewired our brains to match the ways of the internet. Details of this study will be aired in the concluding part of the Virtual Revolution series of BBC2, which outlines the impact of the internet on the lives we lead today.

Researchers studied the thought processes of nearly 100 youth, all aged between 12 and 18 years, by posing several questions, the answers of which were required to be given after thorough research on the internet. The study revealed that the youth of today actually completed the questions in less time when compared to older people. Moreover, nearly forty percent of the youth actually viewed three or less pages for their answers, which according to experts is in direct contrast to the older people, who often tend to revisit pages and take more time.

Experts like Professor David Nicholas, University College London, claim that the internet has changed the thinking process in the youth for the worse. The thought process is defined as associative thinking process, which means that the youth today move from one source to another without really concentrating on any single one. This means that the days of actually concentrating on a single source or text book no longer applies to the youth of today, which is largely attributed to the manner in which information is available on the internet.
