Thoughts from Techcrunch Article : http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/13/no-the-internet-wont-make-you-stupid/

Is the Internet really rewiring our brains? Sure, everything we do rewires our brains.
That's how our brains work. That's how we learn, through experience and repetition

The Web never encourages us to slow down. It keeps us in a state of perpetual mental locomotion.

The fact of the matter is that the Internet spreads information more broadly than the printed word ever did. It makes it easier to get up to speed on topics that you otherwise would know nothing about

I've learned more from the internet than I have from high school. (and I've learned more about my friends from Facebook than from basic interaction)

All in all i think it all depend on the person using the internet . We can see a person reading a lot of things but not focusing

The internet is rewiring our brains for
transactional memory–you know how to find the information when you need it. For example I don't memorize directions I go to google maps.People only need to know how to get the information, memorization is pointless.

Well the fact is, Internet certainly makes you fool if you do not use it carefully. We get so much information on the Internet which is not only important but useful as well

I am an Internet Psychologist and what concerns me about the "internet is changing our brains" debate is the focus that many people have. Print is somehow superior to the web and that the focused attention of print is somehow better for our brains, this is mere assumption – there is no evidence to support the notion that focused attention is somehow cognitively better. In fact, studies of teens using technology are beginning to suggest the reverse. Unfocused attention does seem to have benefits in terms of the brain's ability to handle several different inputs accurately. 
The argument against the web is, simply put, books are better because we can focus our attention on them and we get a deeper relationship with the material. But that's the same as saying (several hundreds of years ago) that single stone tablets were superior to this papyrus stuff because they were more focused than a sheet that could contain loads more material.

Think of the Internet as an open publication platform, where anyone can publish anything. That's not entirely what the Internet is but it's a very big part. The Internet is exactly how the world would be if publishing a book was relatively cheap or completely free.
