U.S researchers consider that the website media acts as a transitory memory on which we rely on as it remembers for us.

According to specialists, the transitory memory represents an idea about the existence of external sources of memory that constitute real spaces for the information storage. The team of experts used for the study what is called as the modified Stroop test, which measures how long does a participant need to read a word of which its meaning describes a color in spite of that same word is displayed with a different color. For example, the word meaning green, but that same word displayed in blue.

To finish up, it was demonstrated that after having addressed some difficult and true or fault pattern questions to the participants, their time of reaction and response about words related to the internet was longer, thus coming into the conclusion that when they did not know the answer, they were already taking into consideration to look for them in the computer.
