A specialist who claims to have suffered from the negative effects of internet suggests that according to her studies internet produces psychological and mental damage. Yet, there are many people who still disesteem this presupposition.
According to this sociologist the internet activity promote to severe damage to people’s brain. Psycho physiological damages like autism and attention deficit activity disorder are some o the possible negative effects of too many hours in front of the computer screen. The specialist held a survey in which she found out the dramatic results from that she decided to go from school to school ad give some speeches about her findings. What‘s really catchy is that there is no evidence to support her assumptions.
Some other computer specialists claim that this woman is just exaggerating. Quite in the contrary, many educators who run autism academies or schools for special children suggest that they use computer as a tool. For them computers help their students to express themselves. A principal from attention deficit institution suggested that the survey has no fundaments and hence no credibility could be possible.
To sum up, the case here is a misunderstanding of the research.

Many students proved to have improved their skills by using computers as a tool.
