Published in World Psychiatry, a group of international researchers stated that internet use can create "acute, persistent changes" in the brain, especially in areas related to our cognition.
This means that everything in the brain - from memory to focus to social skills - can be influenced by social media and the Google search system.
Actually, this is not new news. There have been several studies discussing the bad effects of the internet (among which it makes us zombies and it is difficult to socialize with humans in the real world).
However, in this larger study, the researchers were more aware of how the internet might influence certain cognitive processes. They also studied findings from psychologists and psychiatrists, as well as neuroimaging data to see if that could back up their claims.
"The important finding of this report is: high levels of internet use are highly influential on certain brain functions," said Joseph Firth, a senior researcher at the NICM Health Research Institute, Western Sydney University.
"For example, the infinite flow of notifications from the internet divides our attention. Ultimately, it reduces our capacity to concentrate on a single task," he added.
This fact is supported by a study in 2016 which found that young people who tend to multitask and open social media often need more effort to focus.
High levels of internet use and media multitasking have also long been associated with decreases in gray matter in the prefrontal areas of the brain that are associated with concentration.
However, not only concentration, the internet can also have an impact on memory and social skills - although this fact is not fully understood.
To minimize the dangers of the internet, researchers ask that we practice mindfulness and focus.
Meanwhile, Jerome Sarris, Director of Research at the NICM Health Research Institute, advised us to do 'internet cleaning techniques'. These include reducing media multitasking, breaking the habit of checking cellphones and online at night, and engaging more in live conversations.
