depends how much your on it for. if your on the computer all the time and dont do anything else this will in turn lead to obesity. If your surfing stuff that you learn from like from wiki then this may increase your knowledge.

I think it actually makes us more irritable because it lessens our patients. We all want the results NOW and are not willing to wait the 30 seconds to get the answer or to find what we're looking for.

Does it really depend on intrnet surfing. I mean sure it is related to the time you spend in front of your computer which affects your physical fitness and all. But mentality. Well I think the one thing that can be said is that internet has everything. And it is up to us how we are going to use it. If it is used properly, then there are lot of things to learn and if some one is more interested in the bad part of it, then he can do a lot of wrong things.

Internet is tending to be a huge dump of waste items with few good matters. When you search a answer in a search engine, it will return plenty of results but only a few percent related to you. That's why internet surf is affecting the brain on one side to get the result from the results.. But it is also an advantage that brain works faster the second time and sharp to get the wanted results. Due to the fact that many hours a person is spending the time on internet surfing, it results in physical weakness. Atleast a surfer should take rest after 2 hours of internet surfing. Moreover, the web allows the user to be more creative that they can post their imagination on the web. Internet surfer can get their best when they creative...

one thing i find interesting about the whole internet is that probably only 1/3 (or less, maybe?) of it is something true and not all of that can be used for good things. the 2/3 is just garbage and some people will refer to as medium for 'procrastination'. but i do think spending time surfing the net will somehow make us sharper and a bit more creative. i think it is how we identify which is true and which is not; and having more exposure of things around the world that makes us improve. but some people do chose to use the internet as entertainment only. so i guess thay way they could become 'dumber'
