What people do with their time 20 years ago? How do we do without personal computers, Internet, cell phones, iPods and 24 new hours of cable? The technological landscape is very different today, and scientists wonder exactly what it means for our brain.

According to research conducted last year by the UCLA scientist Dr. Gary Small, a daily dose of technology can change brain functioning, particularly in social skills. He suggested that all this time, the display may weaken brain circuits involved in face-to-face interactions. Fears that the basic life skills such as reading expressions face during conversation is compromised.

Small is particularly concerned by what he calls digital natives, those in the twenty years age, who were "digital cable since childhood." As he explains in an article in the Associated Press, the digital natives may be socially awkward and isolated by their inability to interpret nonverbal messages to people. Afraid that may be especially true in the classroom that is still based on traditional verbal instructions, together with an interaction with the teacher and other students.

Little argues his case in his book "Ibrain: Surviving the altercation technology of the modern mind. "He admits that his research whether or not all this technology is changing the brain circuitry that is new and ongoing.

Other studies, in fact, had other hand touch, seeing the positive results for users of technology. A study by the MacArthur Foundation found that teenagers feel connected each other through online social networks. The study of the fears of some parents that adolescents are vulnerable to online predators spend more time social Internet. "The study found that most teens avoid dangerous sites and Web use only for research or to communicate with friends established, "according to an article in the Austin-American Statesman.

Parents who are overprotective and prohibit the use of computers for their teens can keep their children out of the broader social bond. The study found that teenagers are moving between the world of social interaction online and face to face with relative ease, building on the other.

Dr. Maryanne Wolf of Tufts University, thinks the technology can even affect how people learn to read. The technology requires users to obtain information quickly, instead of the more methodical and sophisticated understanding of regular reading material. To examine whether the rapid collection of information could change the shape of normal brain development formed during playback. It is particularly curious effect young children as technology becomes an integral component of modern classrooms.

Like any new technology information, as does 50 with the inclusion of television the average American household, there will be curiosity and controversy. It is certainly hard to imagine how our brain waited the morning newspaper or evening news to hear what was happening in the world around us. It seems that every generation has a learning curve faster when it comes to the latest technology. This could simply be human nature, or it could be the circuit of the brain to change and adapt technological world saturated in which we live.
