According to Science Daily:

"While you are browsing online, you could be squandering memories -- or losing important information.

Contrary to common wisdom, an idle brain is in fact doing important work -- and in the age of constant information overload, it's a good idea to go offline on a regular basis, says a researcher from Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

This is terrible, isn't? How else will I distract myself and procrastinate if I cut down on the internet? Darn! LOL Since I want to improve my already impaired memory I have no option but cut down. On the other hand cutting down might help me blog more. I can see myself using blogging as an excuse to browse since you know I am in need of constant great but fresh material.

Below I use memes to reflect my personal life in relation to the above information.*ahem ahem*

By red: What I remember after five minutes of browsing internet.
By green: How much Japanese I studied.

Yes, I made a pie chart. It isn't scientific based as in I didn't do a study on myself but I think it's pretty accurate even if it was created for comedic purposes,lol.

Do you often find yourself forgetting something important a session of browsing the internet? If so, tell.
