Work Out For The Brain

A UCLA study has found that internet use increases brain activity. A group of people between 55 and 78 years of age were split with half using the internet daily the other half barely ever going online. The frequent users showed increased activity in the language, memory and vision centers of the brain. The benefit was found to be attainable after only one week of steady internet use. The brains of all of us WUvians must really be jumpin' then.

the article was a little dry, but i thought you guys might be interested. also some of us are closer to the target age group than others(you know who you are 😉) but i think the effect is probably good on everyone, i don't see why it wouldn't be. surfing the net, it's good for you!

What! Are you on some kind of downer-for-all kick, KDP? We don't want to ever, ever discuss such an event! Unthinkable!
