The Internet is becoming our main source of memory instead of our own brains, a study has concluded.
一项研究得出结论称,网络正取代人脑成为记忆的主要存储库。
In the age of Google, our minds are adapting so that we are experts at knowing where to find information even though we don't recall what it is.
我们的大脑正逐渐适应谷歌时代,就算我们记不起某一信息,我们却善于从网络中找出这一信息。
The researchers found that when we want to know something we use the Internet as an "external memory" just as computers use an external hard drive.
研究人员发现,当我们想知道某一事物时,我们就会将网络作为一种“外存”,就像电脑使用外部硬盘驱动器一样。
Nowadays we are so reliant on our smart phones and laptops that we go into "withdrawal when we can't find out something immediately".
如今我们是如此依赖于我们的智能手机和笔记本电脑,当我们“无法立刻找出某一信息时,我们的生活甚至会停摆”。
And such is our dependence that having our Internet connection severed is growing "more and more like losing a friend".
我们也非常依赖于网络,如果我们的网络连接中断了,我们会“越来越觉得像失去了一个朋友”。
Researchers from Harvard University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Columbia University in the US carried out four tests to check their theory.
