Internet And The Aging Brain

摘要

Google users gasped when presidential candidate John McCain joked that he relies on his wife, Cindy, to help him navigate the Internet. But new research shows that for McCain and others like him, surfing the Net can give their brains a good workout. Researchers recruited two groups of 12 seniors of comparable education levels and health, equally divided by gender. One group had little or no Web experience; the other used the Internet at least once a day.
