    Well.…smarter has many inter­pre­ta­tions. I do believe that rich and com­plex inte­rac­tions build more neu­ral net­works ( scien­ti­fic research pro­ves that the brain is not sta­tic and con­ti­nue to deve­lop through expe­rien­ces and spe­ci­fic lear­ning acti­vi­ties that are non-repetitive)
    So, if you are inte­rac­ting with the internet’s con­tent and peo­ple in it, it follows that you are buil­ding richer and com­plex neu­ral net­works. However…if you are simply a pas­sive obser­ver (like watching TV) then I don’t think the neu­ral net­works of your brain are grown!
    Someone much more brainy than me sum­ma­ri­sed it beau­ti­fully in the follo­wing blog:
