How Does Technology Affect The Brain

In the past, the technology wasn’t like nowadays. Students needed to search in many books to find the information that they want. It was very hard and take a lot of time to write a piece of paper. In some cases, it was difficult to find every information wanted in one library. So students need to go to many libraries. For that reason, people found that getting a Master degree or PhD hard. But nowadays people can use technology to study. Internet made learning and education easier. Student can find anything they want in a min. In comparison with the past, education now is simpler. So people now want to get Master and PhD degrees. Technology is very useful for students to learn better; however, it could have a negative effect if it used incorrectly.
Because they can’t feel the effect. Zull (2004), said: “experiments have repeatedly demonstrated environment-dependent change in the brain, which happens as the connections between neurons become more extensive, become more or less active, or even extend into new parts of the brain.” Which mean there is some changes happen on our brain in the neurons. Carr (2010), think that technology make memorizing minus. Maybe this means that people’s brain will be Weaker because of their dependence in technology. But other experience shows that majorities of people who use technology said that it helped them a lot to learn (Purcell & Rainie, 2014). In this scenario, there is a positive and negative effect of technology on our brain.
At first people thought that technology have only positive side, but now some researches shows otherwise. In other words, technology have two side of effect and it’s depend at how the students use it. Carr (2010), said: “people who are continually distracted by e-mail, alerts and other massages understand less than those who are able to concentrate.” He believes that
