Saying Tamara Blackmore experienced culture shock when she arrived here last September is an understatement It was more like culture trauma for this adventurous student who left Melbourne’s Monash University to spend her junior year at Boston College (BC) Blackmore, 20, was joined at BC by
50 other exchange students from around the world Like the thousands of exchange students who enroll
in American colleges each year, Blackmore discovered there is a sea of difference between reading about and experiencing American firsthand She felt the difference as soon as she stepped off the plane
As soon as she landed in Boston, Blackmore could feel the tension in the air She was about to taste
the lifestyle far more hectic than the one she left “Driving in Boston is crazy”, says Blackmore “It took
me a while to get used to the roads and the driving style here I was always afraid someone was going to hit me It was particularly tricky since the steering wheel was on the wrong side of the car In Australia,
it is on the right side.”
Beyond the cars and traffic jams, Blackmore said it took a while to get used to so many people in one
place, all of whom seemed like they were moving at warp speed “There are only 18 million people in
Australia spread over an entire country”, she says “compared to more than 6 million people in the state of Massachusetts alone” We don’t have the kind of congestion you have in Boston There is a whole different perception of space.”

If you are trying to find out who invented algebra or what language they speak on the island of Aruba,
do you ask a friend, go to the library, or look it up online? These days, most people will look it up online with a quick Internet search Just Google it, people say, using the name of the popular Internet search
engine As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal
memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how
In a recent study psychologist Betsy Sparrow of Columbia University in New York conducted four different experiments She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory
In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information The second group understood that the computer would not save it Later, the second group remembered the information better People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember In addition, the researchers told them where to find the information on the computer The information was in a specific computer folder Surprisingly people later remembered the folder location better than the facts When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information Rather, they remember how to find it
This is called "transactive memory" In transactive memory, we remember where to find the information, but we don't remember the information Before the Internet, people used transactive memory
to remember which person or book had the information they needed Now, instead of asking a friend or
classmate for information, people use the Internet With the Internet, endless information is available We
don't have to remember the information, but we do have to remember where it is stored
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date This doesn't mean
we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing
