Improve your Brain

Web Surf! Use Google, Use Wikipedia, Use Wikimindmap.org, Use ixQuick, Use Google Blogsearch, Google Maps, Use Clusty (a conceptual search engine), Read Ask.Meta Filter, Tag with Technorati, or Delicious, browse Feeds via Furl, consider different Desktops (on your computer, not your physical one, or would you?) iGoogle (via Gmail also).

Study new facts. Ask questions, you'd never tell anyone. See if anyone else, collects Han Solo uniforms. (Not me.) Deeper questions, why are e, pi, and i (sqrt -1) related?

  • Frequent social interactions, regular exercise and maintaining a balanced diet can also reduce dementia risk
  • the web search task produced significant additional activity in separate areas of the brain which control decision-making and complex reasoning - but only in those who were experienced web users.
  • "Internet searching engages complicated brain activity, which may help exercise and improve brain function."

Quoted from Internet use 'good for the brain'
