Nowadays, more and more people have access to the Internet. But constant availability of any information worsens people’s memory and critical thinking skills. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Living in the period of digitalisation and technologies, when all

information

is available and the process of searching for some particular response is simple, there is often argued that unlimited access to knowledge is detrimental

the development

of individuals. In my opinion, it is indeed harmful to humans' intellectual development, in spite of its huge contribution to society's evolution. In the beginning, the possibility of looking for all kind of

information

on the internet, make, subconsciously, memorizing some

information

pointless for our brain. It is demonstrated that

people

are used to forgetting all the

information

that is

easy to find online, making a difference not just in our way of thinking, but

also

in brain structure, modifying forever the way

people

perceive the world.

For instance

, there is a term, the Google effect, which is used for describing the phenomenon of forgetting

information

that is

easy to google.

Furthermore

,

As a consequence

of the amount and diversity of content found on websites,

such

as online calculators or essay and note makers, a lot of young

people

lose their motivation and determination of learning science and making some research by themself.

Therefore

, critical thinking and problem-solving skills are harmed and not developed enough for proper development.

For example

, the

last

year I used to help students with middle school exam preparation, and

while

I was explaining some elementary operations with exponents, a girl said something that shocked me. She said to me that she didn't learn fundamental formulas, as she found

this

activity pointless, since all the calculus could be done on the internet.

To sum up

, the harmful effect of the internet,

besides

its numerous advantages, is undoubted. It affects not just the attitude to studies teenagers,

as a result

of the huge amount of data available, the accessibility changes the human brain anatomically.

However

, the variety of

information

online has a lot of benefits for contemporary

people

, if they maintain the balance and don't deny the importance of training memory and critical thinking, as it is paramount for individuals' mental health.
