Researchers at Yale University found that the current generation that grew up in an era of rapid access to the Internet, has several inflated self-esteem of their own mental abilities. It becomes much easier to confuse our own knowledge with information from an external source.
The search engine will help you find the answer to virtually any question, which introduces human misleading with respect to the level of his own intelligence and education. It was found that subjects who were looking for on the Internet the information you need, is under the illusion that the data of the Internet as part of their own knowledge.
Matthew Fisher, a graduate student of the Faculty of Psychology at Yale University, said that the dependence on the Internet provoking people tangling own knowledge and the information received, and therefore there is a reassessment of mental abilities that can sometimes have a negative impact in certain situations. Volunteers from the first group were allowed to use the search on the Internet, the second group of participants were provided ready-made answers. By themselves, people can be very inaccurate idea of what they know and they depend on the Internet.
«With the Internet, the boundaries between what you do know and what you think you know, erased “- said Fisher.
