Internet use 'good for the brain' :D
BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7667610.stm): For middle aged and older people at least (:rolleyes:), using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.
A University of California Los Angeles team found searching the web stimulates centres in the brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning.
The researchers say this might even help to counter-act the age-related physiological changes that cause the brain to slow down.
The study features in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
