The latest research into the Internet suggests it is changing the way that our memory works. Researchers from Colombia University said that when test participants knew the answers would be available on a computer, they did less well on memory tests. According to the research the Internet has caused us to change the way that we remember things. Most importantly, we seem to remember where the information is stored, not the information itself. In other words we are becoming skilled at organizing huge amounts of data, and the Internet has become similar to our very own external hard drive. However, they stress that this does not mean that we are becoming stupid, but rather that it is a strategy to keep up with the information overload.　(by Prof. Simon Smith)

A young British boy aged 13, could win a prize of 250,000 pounds (32 million yen) for inventing a doorbell that fools burglars into thinking that someone is home. The invention is called the ‘Smart Bell’ which calls your cell phone when someone rings on the door bell. This allows for a conversation with anyone who comes to your door. As well as tricking burglars the invention can also talk to delivery people. He thought of the invention after his school had a competition asking students for ideas based on a popular TV program. The teenager, said: “At first I designed the idea because my mum was fed up going to the Post Office to collect deliveries made when we were not at home.” The device has already sold more than 20,000 units and could sell many more, making him a very rich young boy.
