    • Maybe it creates new "Neural Pathways" in older folks because they are used to having to work a bit to find something during research.

    • do you really think there are a bunch of 2.0 CEOs sitting around like Mr. Burns, asking "how can we really get people hooked on this Internet?"

    • Very interesting ... I think this is great!! Being born in the 50s, I think it's fantastic that there is such an endless array of knowledge at our fingertips now. I sure wish I had it available to me growing up. But I sure do use it now. Children growing up in these times are so fortunate in that they have "instant" information available to them while growing up. From this study, it sounds like it is a very good exercise for the brain. One thing to keep in mind, though is exercise for the body too. I see many children who spend too much time in front of the computer just playing games for hours and gaining a lot of weight resulting in many physical illnesses. Time outside and time for exercise for the body away from the computer is something that should also be remembered. Wii is great for exercise when outside is not possible due to bad weather. We should remember that, as in anything, balance is the key for good health. This is a great study!
