The average person looks at their smartphone about 150 times a day, or, in other words, for six minutes every hour. The average teenager sends or receives about 4,000 text messages a month (about one every six minutes). (4) There are two types of memory: working memory – what we are doing at the moment – and long-term memory – which is permanent. New information passes from working memory into long-term memory. This process is called ‘memory consolidation'. Working memory has a small capacity, and the brain can only keep two to four pieces of information at the same time. (2) Because of this, it may not be able to store information and create connections and associations in order to build knowledge. The internet is in many ways an extension of the brain. We can look for anything on Google these days and get more information about it than our brain could ever store. This might not be great news after all. We used to memorise phone numbers and

dates or learn poems and tales. We don't do these kinds of thing much nowadays. We're becoming too lazy to learn things by heart when we can always rely on technology. (1) Technology can also affect reading negatively. There are different types of reading. When we read a newspaper, for instance, we do a lot of skimming. We read quickly and when we find something we're interested in, then we read in detail. (5) However, the downside is that by mostly engaging in this type of reading – the kind of thing we do when we check out Facebook or when we look at tweets on Twitter as well – we're not spending enough time reading deeply and quietly, as we do when we read a novel. Skimming has become the default reading mode, and we may be losing our ability to read in-depth because of technology.

Which sentence best summarises the text? Overusing internet-connecting gadgets can be bad for the brain. What does the text say about memory? (It's difficult for the brain to store information if it has to manage more than four pieces of information.) What does the text say about learning things? . (We don't learn things by heart as often as we did in the past.) What does the text say about types of reading? (Skimming is the most common type of reading nowadays.) What is the main purpose of the text? (To inform)
