Internet Use Boosts Brain Power

This is good news:

For middle aged and older people at least, using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.

A University of California Los Angeles team found searching the web stimulates centres in the brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning.

The researchers say this might even help to counter-act the age-related physiological changes that cause the brain to slow down.

So how do you explain all the young internet users that are going to vote for Obama? Maybe the effect is reversed if you're under 40.
