Is the Internet Changing Our Brains?

I believe that the internet is indeed changing our brains. We are constantly on our phones texting, emailing, or playing on the internet. Parents now hand children their phones or tablets to keep them busy and distracted. But it is making us think differently and rely heavily on technology. With technology and access to so much information, we don't have to use our brains to think as hard. It is so easy to look something up on Google or to find information immediately, and a consequence is that it makes us impatient and almost lazy. We don't use our brains for math anymore, we all have calculators on our phones and thus there is no need. We don't read books as frequently, we read on our phones and often what we read does not have much substance. We are so reliant on technology for answers and help.

What are children going to do when the lights go out or when there is no service? They won't know what to do with themselves because they are always on their phones and computers.
