Internet searching may boost brain

A new study suggests that searching the Internet could be a boost to the brain. In recent years, several studies have showed a link between pursuing activities that keep the mind engaged, such as crossword puzzles and memory games. Keeping your brain active could drive some of these brain chemistry signals in the opposite direction compared to where they go as dementia sets in, and now it looks like surfing the Web could be another way to do that.

So the next time you someone tells you to stop surfing the Web or checking Facebook, you know what to say!
