The results should once again cause concern among permanent residents of the Network. Scientists have come to the conclusion that the Internet is changing the nature of our perception. We learn to find facts, but at the same time the memorization mechanism stops functioning. The Times' Patricia Cohen summarizes the results: Dr. Sparrow and her collaborators, Danielle M. Wegner of Harvard and Jenn0 facts - for example, "an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain" - into a computer. Half of the participants believed that the information will be saved in the computer, the other - that the data will be erased. "Participants did not make an effort to remember something, thinking that they would be able to find the necessary information at any moment," the authors write. The second experiment was aimed at determining whether computer accessibility affects the data we remember.
"If we ask, for example, are there any countries with only one Panama Phone Number color in their flag," the researchers write, "do we remember what we know about flags, or do we think that we should go on the Internet and find out? " In this case, the participants were asked to remember the data itself and in which of the five computer folders it was saved. People turned out to be more capable of remembering folders. A person adapts to the modern information environment, inteead, navigation skills for communication with the computer environment develop. Scientists believe that everything is not so bad. Because, despite the exalted attitude towards human memory, as an integral part of its nature, it is not a reliable source of information. Data stored in memory tend to get distorted over time, and ultimately do not reflect the true state of affairs. This is part of the theory of memory consolidation. (See Elizabeth Loftus' work on memory errors.)
The Internet acts not only as an effective source and repository of information, but also as a comparison of memories of different people. It can be used as a fact-checking tool that makes up the worldview of an individual, which will prevent a person from falling into selfish solipsism. By using and comparing our memories together, we can control the subjectivity of our own perception.
