What the Internet Does to Your Brain Was das Internet mit Ihrem Gehirn macht Lo que Internet le hace a su cerebro Les effets de l'internet sur le cerveau Jak internet wpływa na mózg O que a Internet faz ao seu cérebro 互联网对大脑的影响

[Music]

remember when our parents used to tell

us that video games would rot our brains

well turns out they were wrong about

that video games won't rot your brain

and in some cases it can actually be

beneficial to play them however if your

particular set of parental units happen

to use the term warp your brain well ||||บิดเบือน|||

then they might have been on the right

track in the last few decades brain

scientists have learned a lot about

something called neuroplasticity

essentially the brain changes its zasadniczo mózg zmienia swoje

physical configuration in response to 다음에 대한 물리적 구성

the tasks you give it and the stimuli |||||||สิ่งกระตุ้น

you expose it to this can include

something as simple as using a clock to

something as complex as playing a video

game and it can also include using the

internet over the past few years I've

had this sneaking suspicion that my |||ความสงสัย||

daily internet use was having subtle |||||เล็กน้อย

effects on the way that I think I used

to be able to sit and immerse myself in

a book for hours but now that task is a

lot harder often daydreamer get caught

being distracted and I seem to remember

being bored a lot when I was a kid but

now boredom almost never creeps into my

life there's always something grabbing

for my attention and it turns out that

this suspicion wasn't misplaced like the

clock in the videogame and countless

other technologies the internet quietly

changes the structure of our brains as

we use it and not always in ways that

are positive the brains process of

rewiring itself works a bit like taping

over a VHS tape as the psychiatrist ||||||จิตแพทย์

Norman Doidge puts it if we stop

exercising our mental skills we do not

just forget them the brain nap space for |||||การพักผ่อน||

those skills such as deep book reading

is turned over to the skills we practice

instead such as browsing endless pages

of the bank estimates so today let's

explore just how the internet affects

our brains and how we can prevent or at

least reverse its most harmful changes

in the late 1800s the philosopher

friedrich nietzsche's eyesight began to

fail him and this brought with it a

terrible consequence it made it almost

impossible for him to write the act of

focusing his eyes on a page gave him

terrible headaches and he worried that

he would have to give up a practice all

together but something saved him and

that something was called the mulling |||||การพิจารณา

typewriter ever built back when it was maszyna do pisania, jaką kiedykolwiek zbudowano

released and it also saved Nietzsche's

writing career once he learned a touch

type with it he could write once more

albeit now with his eyes closed the แม้ว่า||||||

writing ball didn't just rescue pisanie piłki nie tylko uratowało

Nietzsche's ability to write though it

also changed the character of his output

one of his close friend at the time

noted that Nietzsche's writing took on a

new forcefulness that it became tighter nowa siła, która stała się ciaśniejsza

and nietzsche himself agreed writing you

are right our writing equipment takes

part in the forming of our thoughts and udział w kształtowaniu naszych myśli i

it's not just our writing equipment that

does this in the book the shallows what

the internet is doing to our brains

which was actually the primary source

for this video the author Nicholas Carr

demonstrates how nearly all the

technology we use can cause real

physical changes within our brains for

example one experiment that was done on

violin players showed that the area of

their sensory cortex is that controlled

their fingering hands was actually much ich palce były w rzeczywistości znacznie

larger than that of control group who

had never played a musical instrument

before but it's not just the physical

use of tools that can cause these

changes even purely mental activity and zmienia nawet czysto umysłową aktywność i

Tony can you like make a hammer float Tony, możesz zrobić pływak z młotkiem?

here in the air with you know your

editing skills alright let's try it

again even purely mental activity shaped

by technology can do the same thing

another experiment done on London cab

drivers found that compared to control

group the area of the drivers brains

called the posterior hippocampus was ||ส่วนหลัง||

much larger than normal and as you might

expect this is an area of the brain that

plays a huge part in helping us

understand our physical surroundings now

if you wouldn't be wrong to point out

that it's no big surprise a cab drivers

brain would adapt to the task of

navigating a complex web of city streets Poruszanie się po złożonej sieci ulic miasta

when that's what they spend all day long

doing but other technologies have far

subtler and further reaching effects ละเอียดกว่า|||| subtelniejsze i dalej sięgające efekty

before the invention of the clock people

perceive time in a very different way postrzegają czas w zupełnie inny sposób

than we do today to them time flowed

like a stream of water and the jak strumień wody i

transition from one moment to the next

was seamless and imperceptible once we było płynne i niezauważalne, gdy tylko

started tracking time though

that all changed when we ended the first

time keeping devices we changed our

conception of time itself instead of

being an unbroken stream time became a

series of discrete individual units and

as clocks became more and more accurate

those units got smaller and more precise

suddenly we were thinking in terms of

hours and then minutes and eventually

seconds and we also became fixated on

productivity how much time did we spend

how much time have we wasted but there

was a larger effect as well once we

started looking at time as a construct

made up of small parts that thinking got

extended to everything else as car

rights once the clock had redefined time

as a series of units of equal duration jako seria jednostek o równym czasie trwania

our minds began to stress the methodical

mental work of division and measurement praca umysłowa polegająca na dzieleniu i mierzeniu

we began to see in all things and

phenomena the pieces that composed the zjawisk, które składają się na

whole the clocks methodical ticking

helped bring into being the scientific

mind and the scientific man and if the

clock made a big change the way that we

think then writing made and even a

bigger one now this technology took

thousands of years to progress through

the necessary stages the shift from

local graphic characters to phonetic

alphabets the addition of spacing

between words and the invention of the

Gutenberg press just to name a few but

eventually this technology caused huge

shifts in our behavior once the general

population became literate they started

to read what's your rating for and not

just that they started to read silently

for long periods of time and this is a

bigger deal than you might think car

rights to read a book was to practice an

unnatural process of thought one that

demanded sustained unbroken attention to wymagał nieprzerwanej uwagi na

a single static object and for people to

do this they had to forge neural

pathways that would allow them to apply ścieżki, które pozwoliłyby im zastosować

top-down control over their attention odgórna kontrola nad ich uwagą

top-down control is something that has

to be learned and practiced naturally

we're wired for bottom-up attention our jesteśmy zaprogramowani na oddolną uwagę.

senses are finely tuned to pick up zmysły są precyzyjnie dostrojone, aby wychwycić

changes in our environment and our

attention naturally drifts to them it's ||ลอยไป||| uwaga naturalnie dryfuje w ich kierunku

constantly shifting now this is great Ciągłe zmiany są teraz świetne

for noticing a lurking tiger or a |||ซุ่มอยู่||| za zauważenie czającego się tygrysa lub

potential source of food but it's not so

great for deep analytical reading it

just doesn't allow for that type of

prolonged intense concentration that's długotrwała intensywna koncentracja, która

necessary for parsing complex ideas and niezbędne do analizowania złożonych pomysłów i

through the act of reading we developed

a new

of attentional control one that was far

better suited to that task but now it

seems like we're starting to lose that

ability so let's revisit that experiment

with London cab drivers again for a

second because there's something that I

didn't mention in addition to the

enlargement of the posterior hippocampus การขยายตัว|||ส่วนหลัง|ฮิปโปแคมปัส powiększenie tylnego hipokampa

the researchers also found a change in

the anterior hippocampus it shrank and

in further tests they found that that

shrinking may have actually harmed the kurczenie się mogło faktycznie zaszkodzić

cab drivers ability to perform on other

memorization tasks Norman do I just

words come back to mind here when we

stop using a certain skill the neural

pathways that used to support it get

reconfigured to enhance the skills that

we do use as the psychiatrist Jeffery

Schwartz puts it it's survival of the

busiest and I'm sure you can see where ที่ยุ่งที่สุด|||||||

this is going

unless of course you've already gotten

distracted and clicked away from this

video which just makes you an example of

my next point the technology that we now

spend most of our time using the

internet definitely doesn't do anything

to encourage the use of the neural

pathways that are devoted to top-down

attentional control and long-term

concentration on a single source as car

puts it our use of the Internet involves

many paradoxes but the one that promises

to have the greatest long-term influence

over how we think is this one the net

seizes our attention only to scatter it

in other words the Internet promotes

distracted nough sand multitasking at 산만 한 모래 멀티 태스킹 wystarczająco rozproszony piasek wielozadaniowość w

almost all times we are surrounded by

multiple internet connected devices and

even on a single computer you can be

watching a video have 18 different tabs

open at the same time be playing Spotify

in the background and beginning messages

on iMessage and slack at the same time

oh and also playing over watching the

other monitor can't forget about that

one moreover the internet rewards this

type of distracted behavior it's not

just our frequent use of this technology

that gives it such a powerful ability to

shape our neural pathways it's also the

fact that offers constant quick dopamine

hits it constantly stimulates the reward

loop inside our heads the result is that

the internet promotes the return to our

natural bottom-up state of attentional

control there's always something new

happening somewhere else to shift your

focus and just like with those London

cab drivers the brain has to give

something up the more time you allow the

internet to promote this distracted

frenzy style of consuming information

the less time you spend deeply im mniej czasu spędzasz głęboko

concentrated unseen skoncentrowany niewidoczny

tasks and as a result less able you are

to call up that deep concentration when

you really need it so what can we do

about this

are we just stuck in a downward spiral Czy po prostu utknęliśmy w spirali spadkowej?

doomed to end up like the people in skazani na skończenie jak ludzie w

idiocracy idiokracja

or can we reverse this trend we been

botties man why wouldn't you at the botties man why wouldn't you at the

match your elf was saving you a seat to dopasuj swojego elfa, który oszczędzał ci miejsce na

being Don oils oh there's more the video

I thought we were done okay I guess

we're at the part of the video where I

give you ten ideas for reclaiming your

attention yeah I did write that part in

the script okay before we get into this

remember it is survival of the busiest

the key isn't to just stop using the

Internet which as it turns out a pretty

useful invention instead it's to reduce

the activities that cause the

undesirable changes and to replace them niepożądane zmiany i ich zastąpienie

with activities that promote the

neurological changes that you actually

want to see and this could mean that you

don't even have to reduce the amount of

time you spend on the Internet at all

after all there's plenty of long-form

content on the internet there's long

articles there's long video essays like

this one and plenty of other deep

content Plus with apps like Kindle Cloud

Reader and projects like the Gutenberg

press you can literally read millions of |||ได้จริง ๆ|||

books from any internet-connected device

but there is a caveat here remember the ||||ข้อควรระวัง|||

brain seeks out rewards and that the

internet tends to dole out the ones that |||แจกจ่าย|||| Internet ma tendencję do rozdawania tych, które

promote distracted thinking if you're

reading a print book with your phone in

the other room it's pretty easy to

resist the temptation to send a tweet or oprzeć się pokusie wysłania tweeta lub

check your email but it's a very

different story if you're reading the

exact same book on an Internet connected

iPad so we need to do two different

things number one promote the healthy

activities that build that top-down

attentional control and number two make

some environmental changes that make it

easier to shake our bad internet habits

so here are some ideas for mission

number one to start first just read more

books and yeah there's gonna be people

out there who make the argument that

books are full of filler they're waste

of time and you could get the same

salient points by going over to Google najważniejsze punkty, przechodząc do Google

and finding a well-written summary but

that argument isn't relevant right now

because in this case the goal of reading

a book is to promote deep long-term

concentration on one singular task

second spend time working with

out the internet and yes I know you feel

like you need the internet but honestly

a lot of my best research has come from

finding books in the library and if I'm

being even more honest with myself a lot

of my work especially writing once I

have all my research material and video

editing doesn't require the internet at

all now my brain tells me that it does

but this is actually a sign that I've

become dependent on the internet and if

anything I should take it as a sign that

I need to let that neural pattern fade Muszę pozwolić temu wzorcowi neuronowemu zaniknąć

of it 3 have more in depth in person z tego 3 mają bardziej dogłębne osobiście

conversations go out to dinner with your

friends more often and when you do do

not put your phone on the table keep it

in your pocket or don't bring it at all

or watch more movies and this has the

exact same goal as reading books you're

paying attention to one piece of cinema

for about two hours and again don't

bring your phone into the experience you

don't need to live tweet Lord of the

Rings finally number 5 commit to longer

periods of time doing one thing go

outside and ride your bike for a full

hour or practice an instrument for 30

full minutes now if you're like a lot of

people you probably feel too guilty to

let yourself do these things because you

feel like you have a lot of work to do

and if you're in that boat I've got a

suggestion for you install a program on

your computer called rescue time this

will track the time that you spend on

different apps and websites and I bet

after a few days of data gathering

you're gonna see that all your little

trips to Twitter and Instagram and all

your other little distracting websites

actually add up to more time throughout

the day then that hour you would have

spent on the bike and that just leaves

us with mission number 2 those

environmental changes and the first one

is going to deal with naturally YouTube

since we are on YouTube right now when

you're watching videos on YouTube watch

them in full screen now for almost my

entire youtube viewing life I never did

this and it doesn't really make sense on

the surface right because if you put a

video on full screen it looks better it

takes up the entire monitor but the

reason becomes pretty clear once you

understand neuroplasticity and our

reward seeking behavior and the way that zachowania związane z poszukiwaniem nagrody i sposób, w jaki

YouTube is designed though I'm Austan so

I'll be watching the video i clicked on

part of my brain is also itching to

click on something else that i see over

in the sidebar and going into full na pasku bocznym i przejście do pełnej wersji

screen well that would take away my very

interesting links now you can go even

further with this and i'm not going to

talk too much about it but in the

description down below i have linked to

a little snippet of CSS that you can use

to actually blur out all the videos in aby faktycznie rozmyć wszystkie filmy w

the YouTube homepage and the site

so if you don't want to use fullscreen

you could try that trick as well but to

move on to item number two here read

articles in reader mode the fact of the

matter is that most websites today are

designed with lots of distracting UI

elements like pop-ups and sidebars and

all kinds of other stuff that is

designed to keep you clicking from page

to page but you can get rid of all these

elements by using reader mode now Safari

on iOS and Chrome for Android both have

built-in reader modes which just isolate

all the content and let you see just

what you came to read and on the desktop

front Firefox Microsoft edge and Safari

I've had them built in for years and as

of this week chrome has one as well

you're gonna want to make sure you're

updated to the latest version chrome 75

at least you're also gonna have to go

into the experimental Flags section to

turn it on once you have done that it is

time to move on to item number three

which is to limit the time that you

spend on distraction heavy parts of the

Internet to a certain window during the

day so instead of making frequent trips

to Twitter or Instagram or deviantART or

whatever you like to go to during the

day restrict it and compress it into

maybe just a one hour period and this is

actually pretty easy to accomplish now

you could just unplug your Ethernet

cable or disable your Wi-Fi while you're

not using those sites but you could also

get a little more subtle a little more

control over the process by using a web

site blocking app like freedom or

culture and additionally item number

four here there are other tools you can

use to make social media sites less

distracting for example I've been using

a plug-in called News Feed Eradicator to

destroy my news feed on Facebook for a

long time and for tweeting there are

free tweet scheduling apps like buffer

which will allow you to tweet to your

heart's content without actually opening

twitter app and getting sucked into the

feed there finally number five hide the

visual clutter on your desktop if you're wizualny bałagan na pulpicie, jeśli jesteś

anything like me you probably have a

bookmarks bar extension icons and an OS ikony rozszerzeń paska zakładek i system operacyjny

taskbar that are just cluttering up your

screen and all these things can be

hidden if you need them they're probably

keyboard shortcuts to bring them back or

you can hover somewhere but for the most można gdzieś zawisnąć, ale dla większości

part you don't need them and it would be

a lot better to have a distraction free

view of the content that you're trying

to read now these are tactical changes

and they're not gonna wing your brain i nie będą skrzydłami twojego mózgu

off it's internet addicted habits on

their own but they will go a long way to

helping you do that a lot more easily

still remember the process of changing

your brains most frequently accessed

pathways is a slow one that's gonna

require a lot of discipline and first so

once you tell these things up focus more

on those positive habits we discussed

earlier reading more books having more

in-depth conversations and soon in time

that ability to focus deeply will come ta zdolność do głębokiego skupienia przyjdzie

back but while we can change the degree

to which the internet affects our brains

one thing that we can't change so easily

is just how much our lives are run

through it now we do our banking online dzięki temu teraz robimy naszą bankowość online

we pay rent online we store our files up

in the cloud and that means if you're

anything like me you have dozens if not

hundreds of online accounts to manage

and to keep secure that's why I

recommend using dashlane instead of zalecamy używanie dashlane zamiast

using the same password for every

account which is a terrible idea

you can use dashlane to generate a

strong and unique password for every

online account you have all them are

stored in a secure vault that uses very przechowywane w bezpiecznym skarbcu, który wykorzystuje bardzo

strong encryption meaning that you are

the only person who ever has access to

it and it'll even let you know if any of

your passwords are weak or if they've

been compromised in a data breach or if

you're using them across multiple

accounts and when any of those things

happens you can easily change that

password to a much stronger one with

just the click of a button you don't

have to log into the website to do it

which is a pretty sweet feature plus - co jest całkiem fajną funkcją plus -

lien can instantly log you into websites zastaw może natychmiast zalogować użytkownika na stronach internetowych

and autofill long forms which makes i autouzupełnianie długich formularzy, co sprawia, że

browsing a heck of a lot faster and with

a built-in VPN that keeps your browsing

private dark web monitoring for all of

your personal information and apps for

all of your devices - Lane is seriously

the one tool that you need to keep your

online life secure and as a result since

you're not using multiple tools it saves

you money too - Lane has a basic free

version that you get started with

there's also a premium version that gets

you access to all the features I just

mentioned and if you're one of the first

200 people to use link in the
