Is internet altering our brains?

U asked ... "altering our brains " ?

Charles Darwin, in his 'theory of evolution' observed that any change in a human body ( or of any living creature ) may require ten thousand years or so. How internet may change our brains so quick ? Till today, scientists could not find the full function of a human brain - it is said that a human does not know the full strength of his/her brain and only a small portion of it is generally used.

U .. perhaps have our "style of thinking"  in mind  i.. !! Yes it is possible as, with the help of Internet we may gather tons of informations ( some are even wrong and mis-leading) on a paeticular subject and do to & fro digital communications within short time.

Narayan well said, fabulous argument with best examples. I support you. 

Let us look at it this way - the Internet is an advance , just like the discovery of fire. Just because today we have arsonists , we don't think the discovery of fire was bad.

The Internet is a technological discovery just like the telegraph , radio , television and so many others. All of these have their pros and cons. The radio is a wonderful tool for taking information to the farmer ; it was also used by Hitler for propaganda.

How the Internet is used or misused or abused is up to the individual user. No one can deny that the Internet has made so many wonderful things possible.

It has made it possible for minds to come together. You can see how it has helped during times of crisis , like the earthquake in China , Haiti , or in hurricane Katrina.

Let us not throw the baby out with the bath water !

And with every new innovation , once our minds come to grips with it , and start using it , our minds are changed for ever. After having got used to mobile phones , can we ever think of going back to the era when we had only land lines ?

with innovation of ideas making the users habitual of using the net in its own way also.

internet evolves/ing as per surfing habits ..... of users

Certainly not.Beause behind emergence of internet there is human mind.So how could internet alter human brain?Internet is the medium of getting things done,bt human brain is the one who are responsible for getting things done.If human brain will stop working then there will be no exixtence of any technology,rather there will be no use of those.

O.K. What u r saying that is Correct.. But u r Forgetting the other side. Lot of Creativity , Imagination Developing in all fields through internet..we are in the grate internet Generation.. What i intend that What we are getting  Benefits from net, the Negative things are very few..

I think it is dependent on many factors like family members, his maturity, etc...isn't it????????/

basically its how you look and use internet, makes the difference.
