Is The Internet Making Us Smarter

by Jace Harold Writer

There are many ways in which the technology already made a huge impact on the lives of each one of us but one question keeps coming and that is the effect of the technology has had on our own intelligence. While some of us think that the internet is making us smarter, others also believe that our access to internet information is making us a lot lazier and in fact dumber. Since the best internet providers are making their services available to the public, people can now access the information that they want to know in just a span of seconds. Fast internet connection in Makati for example, does not solely focus on the businesses only but also to each and every residential community that is in the area. 


Internet Knowledge Realness


Some people believe that knowledge is paralyzing but it can even more so with the internet information that is available online. While you can find a lot of them useful information as well, you can also be sure that internet knowledge can be misleading also. Learning how to know between relevant and important information rather than irrelevant information that you can find online is also really vital for any project or research. If you want to have verified facts, you need to know where to look for them. It is not enough that you use a simple internet browser and find the first video or article, you need to learn how to distinguish if the sources from where these information comes from are valid in order for you to make sure that the data that you are acquiring from it is actually verified figure or fact.


Internet as a Tool for Making Us Smarter


There are so many ways in which the internet is making each and everyone of us smarter. It is by allowing us to research, find if these facts are valid and letting us learn something new everyday. Even if you are just watching videos online, you can learn a lot from different video platforms that are available on the web. The freedom that we have on researching whatever interests our mind in a matter of seconds, makes the information a lot easier to check and access. With that in mind, you can frequently  check your data even if you forget something. The knowledge is always expanding with each online search for every certain fact. 


Internet is Making Us Less Intelligent


In the same manner almost, the internet is also making us a little bit lazier and a little bit less intelligent simply because we know that we do not know everything now, because technically we have the internet for that. Having said, how many times have each one of us read something online that was absolutely false? Should we just rely on the internet alone? This is the time when you have to think and really find reliable and trustworthy information in this ocean of information that is called the internet.


Even historical books and resources that you are supposed to believe in sometimes are wrong, outdated or commissioned. This is why even the knowledge from books is also arguable. On the other hand, internet knowledge is always updated, it evolves and it continually grows.  If you want to know the truth, you just need to know where to look for it.
