<p>You can easily discuss the science of neuroplasticity and the internet. A book I’d use would be “The Shallows: What the Internet is doing to our Brains” and I’d most likely include a personal experience, as the writer of this book himself did. Basically, neuroplasticity is when our brains can physically change to adapt to the things we do daily. With the abundance of information, we aren’t attentive and giving deep thought to a certain subject as we ourselves are subject to the Internet’s abundance of unnecessary additional information while trying to do so. This information causes us to overload our brains, or, more specifically, our working memory, and are thus inept to deep thinking which allows us to better our conception of the world. Working memory is also practically the fundamental cause for consciousness; the better we are at manipulating information, holding it in our brains, and transferring it to long-term memory, the better we are at deepening what makes us different from the other species: having an ‘increased level’ of consciousness.</p>
