SECTION C: READING COMPREHENSION (10 marks)
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions thatfollow
Are we being rewired?
Technology has changed the way we work, play and do our shopping. But haS it also changed us as
people? Are our brains gradually being 'rewired'? Research suggests that people who have grown up in
the digital age think and believe differently to those who grew up before there were things like the
internet. Let's look at sorne exarnples.
...
Our memories aren 't as good as those ofour grandparents.
We need to remember less information (such as phone nurnbers or addresses) because we can access
information at the touch of a button on our cell phones and computers. We need to remember fewer facts
r
because it is so easy to get information. Years aga, people memorised long poems and parts of books!
We arefinding it harder to concentratefor longperiods oftime.
Scientists say that our attention spans are becoming shorter. We read short articles on stead of long books. We
. ", would rather watch or read several shot video clips, blogs or tweets than one long, complex film or book.
We have become more creative but less practical.
Technology enablés us to share ideas and experiences quickly and easily. So people who write poems and
create works of art~ can share these with their friends and colleagues. This inspires others to be creative as
well. But we are also less practical. Many young people in the United States for exarnple can't find their
way around without using a satnav or GPS device to show them the route. Fewer and fewer people can
write neatly in cursive script, because they are so used to typing messages on phones and computers.
We have bettet visual skills and are able to make decisions more quickly.
. Many people are used to making quick decisions in the computer games that they play, and this makes it
easier for them to make quick decisions in their lives. We are also better at interpreting pictures and
colours than we used to be,because we see so many images in our daily lives.
We socialise in difJerenrways.
Many people stay in touch by texting messages and posting messages and infonnation on social network
sites. Sorne people find it rnuch easier to send a message than to speak to a person face to face. This
means that we don't learn to recognise and understand other people's body language weIl. Sorne say that·
1
technology has made us rude too.
1·
1 .We are developing new fears.
1 • There is a new type of fear, called FüMü, which means 'fear of missing out'. There is so much
information out there on the news and on social networks that we rernain glued to our phones or
1 Page·213
computers in case we miss out on sorne news that others have. This makes us more
anxious. Is this perhaps the worst type of rewiring?
