In a survey carried out by the Pew Research Center, participants were fairly evenly split about how Internet wired world will impact the teenagers and twenty-somethings of "Generation Y," Reuters reported.

In all, 1,021 technology insiders, critics and students took part in the survey released on Wednesday.

Fifty-five percent of them agreed with a statement that in 2020 the brains of young people would be "wired" differently from those over 35, with good results for finding answers quickly and without shortcomings in their mental processes.

But 42 percent were pessimistic, agreeing with a second statement that in 2020 young technology users would be easily distracted, would lack deep thinking skills and would thirst only for instant gratification.

據(jù)路透社報(bào)道，在皮尤研究中心周三發(fā)布的一份調(diào)查中，就互聯(lián)網(wǎng)世界對“千禧一代”少年和二十幾歲的青年將產(chǎn)生的影響，參與人員差不多分成了兩派。

共有1021名科技業(yè)內(nèi)人士、評論家和學(xué)生參與了調(diào)查。

55%的人贊同一種說法，即2020年青年人大腦的“連接”構(gòu)造與35歲以上人的大腦不同，優(yōu)勢在于他們能迅速找到答案，思維過程并無缺陷。

但是42%的人卻很悲觀，同意另一種觀點(diǎn)，即2020年，科技產(chǎn)品的年輕用戶易分心，缺乏深度思考的能力，只滿足簡短的信息。
