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?

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.
