The newest poll results in the US indicated that 75% of Internet users believed that the Internet heightens and increases human intelligence, and that this would make people smarter in the next ten years。
In addition, two-thirds felt that the Internet improves reading and writing capabilities 1。
However, 21% of those surveyed felt that the cons 2 of the Internet outweighed 3 its pros 4。
Surfing the Internet all day may make people dumber, and even lower the IQ of some heavily-dependent users。
Dialogue Example：
Winter break is almost over. Ben is writing his homework at the very last moment, like always. Ben's mother Gina is asking about his progress after dinner。
Gina: Are you done with your homework yet? I could tutor you。
Ben: I'm almost done. I'd like to ask you a question about my science homework。
Gina: What's the question?
Ben: Are orangutans and baboons 5 the same sort of animal?
Gina: I think they're probably different。
Ben: What's different about them?
Gina: One's more like a monkey, and the other more human-like。
Ben: How do you differentiate 6 them?
Gina: I'm not really sure either。
Ben: Looks like it's faster to look for answers on [gm99nd] than from you。
