It seems recent research found that Internet search has a positive influence on the brain activity of elderly people. Internet search activities are found to be capable of activating key centers of the brain, which control logical processes of the mind or the areas of the brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning.
One very interesting finding is that Internet search activities are able to bring this about while an activity such as reading does not. The explanation for this is that compared with reading, the wealth of choices on the Internet requires that people make decisions about what to click on, which engages important cognitive circuits in the brain.
