Does Internet Makes Us Stupid?
The influence of Internet on the society
"When we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together." This statement, which was made by President Barack Obama, makes us question whether the use of the Internet helps us succeed or makes us stupid and lock ourselves out of the outside world.
The Internet bubble increases its volume and density rapidly, because the number of people and hours using the internet increases dramatically every day.

On the other side, however, I think that we want to learn things in an understandable way and to be able to use them quickly, so that we can learn more in the limited time we have.
