How internet use affects the human brain → How web use affects the human brain — This article seems to be about hypertext, web surfing, search engines etc. These are all technologies of the World Wide Web, which is only one part of the Internet. Therefore, it is wrongly named unless there is much more research that is going to be added about how e-mail, file-sharing, remote desktops and the other internet technologies affect brains.Relisted. billinghurst sDrewth 16:54, 13 July 2010 (UTC) Nigelj ( talk) 15:34, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
OK, so the rename discussion went... strangely. Now, we have an article that is mostly written by one person, that is labelled as being an 'essay', and that seems to say that the whole internet is thoroughly bad and damaging. This is patently not the whole picture, so I suggest someone have a look at policies like WP:NPOV and has a think about well-documented facts like, there are billions of web pages and so people can sit almost anywhere on earth and access a level of information and knowledge that was unthinkable a decade ago. This must 'affect humans'? People can write to their friends, shop online, work from home, publish their holiday snaps, report on oppression, describe wars, publish points of view, and build collaborative projects that span the globe. Does any of this 'affect humans'? You get my drift. We cannot have a whole article that is as one-sided as this one currently seems to be. The trouble is, when it's done, there will be a huge duplication of what is already in the internet, www and other articles, but maybe with an emphasis on it all 'affecting humans'. I can't really see where this is going, or how it's going to be useful to the Wikipedia project, at the moment. -- Nigelj ( talk) 17:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I do not see why someone cannot add something about the positive aspects of the internet. The article may be biased, but it can certainly change. The internet is having a huge impact on people, and their is a lot of research on this, and in my opinion, this research needs to be talked about on Wikipedia. Thus far, most of the stuff I found about how the internet affects human behavior was pretty negative, so i just added it here (I wrote most of the article). I am planning to add more positive material. And at any rate, anyone is free to edit (I have not deleted any contributions, for example.) And i agree that maybe this article was misnamed. Maybe it should be changed back to 'How internet affects human brain'? I have looked at the other internet articles, and I could not find any article that talks about how the internet affects the brain or behavior or intelligence.-- Jo ( talk) 20:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I am afraid many of the claims in the article do no properly reflect the sources cited. I have removed some, but not completed, as this may require a lot of work. This seems mostly an unintelligent collection of bits and pieces pasted or picked from magazine or newspaper articles. The new title doesn't quite reflect the contents yet either, but the old title was horrible. Kbrose ( talk) 23:18, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
The best title is "Human impact of Internet use". this title is very comprehensive and describes the article very well. It is just a slight change, as the original title ('How internet use affect humans') was horrible. i think it is an excellent article.-- Jo ( talk) 00:07, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
I didn't realise at first, because it hasn't been published here yet, but I think this article was originally meant to be based on this book by American writer Nicholas Carr. (book review) Maybe it should be changed into a book review article, to include not only the content of this book, but also some of the pasting it has had from academics and the sensible media? -- Nigelj ( talk) 14:05, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Does the section "Internet and political revolutions" belong in this article? Is a political revolution a "psychological effect"? I'm thinking not. But if this section doesn't belong here, where does it belong? A new standalone article? Part of some existing article? Perhaps Sociology of the Internet? Or in the Social impact section of the main Internet article? Jeff Ogden ( talk) 21:36, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
I think this section plays a key role as there is a lot to be said about Internet's effect on children. Internet has a direct impact on most of the children in their daily lives. Children are psychologically addicted to internet which in turn results in many other problems such as health problem, concentration problems, getting exposed to inappropriate stuff at early age which will lead to negative thoughts at very early age.
