      As somebody said on the discussion board...everything is better in moderation. I think the internet has many pros as well as cons as evident by this article.

      This is scary to think, but very true. The internet is turning us into fast paced people who do not learn things in depth. This could not only harm our learning, but our long term memory if we are not properly storing information.
  • comprehension declined as the number of links increased
  • When the load exceeds our mind’s ability to process and store it, we’re unable to retain the information or to draw connections with other memories.

      I think this is another big problem in education - information overload. Students may not be able to remember things quick enough, and so much information is out there online that it can be hard to navigate through it all.
