For middle-aged and older people at least, using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.

The researchers say this might even help to counteract the age-related physiological changes that cause the brain to slow down.

It may be true. I am in that age group and I only look about 28 years of age. But then my eyesite ain't as good as it once was. :)

I must be in that age group, I can remember when a PC cost almost as much as a second hand car and you were metered for your time on line, and then I got one of those superfast 56k connections - bliss!

Aren't you sure or is it just that you can't remember? ;)
